    • The most common reason jobs don’t come out is not having sufficient funds in your account. You can check by logging onto your Papercut User page.
    • Second, is sending a document to print using Web Print and the document has some type of security on it and can’t release it because it can’t open it. Remove any security on the document if you want to use Web Print. You can put it back on after you have printed it.
    • Also, check that the printer is turned on and not in an error state.
  • Why does my print job say, “Hold for Authentication”?
    • This can happen on Mac computers when a stored password has been changed and the old one is stored in the keychain. Go to the keychain and look for a BluePrint print queue entry, delete it, and try to print again entering the new password when prompted.
