wants money not free
reretedJuly 7, 2016
Pros
none it did nothingh for me
Cons
keep saying buy or upgrade
Summary
junk not worth
Good effort but Cloud Print seems broken
tomysshadowSeptember 15, 2015
Pros
I was able to print to any other format without much issue
Cons
I wanted to use this for Google Cloud Print and despite typing in the right password it says my username and password are invalid
Summary
Maybe it worked at one point but it's buggy on Windows 10 and needs an update before I will use it.
Every day I find a use for it

Pros
Flawless integration with Google Cloud print Easy setup of HP1000 printer on Linux or Ubuntu! Breaks the Windows - HP block & provides unlimited live to HP1000! Creates many ways to create PDF PS or other printables Can use any printable file as a starting point!
Cons
None. I usually find, at least minor, things to gripe about. However paperless printer continues to exceed my expectations
Summary
I love it. It has saved my favorite printer, HP1000. Windows and HP, since Win 7, have agreed to not provide a driver for this printer. So I switched the printer to my Linux Ubuntu system. I'd just decided to buy another printer for Win, when I discovered PP. Now, I share this wonderful old printer from Win 7, Win 8, and my cell phone. Saved my printer's life and saved me the cost of a new printer.
Install in Windows 7 compatability mode for Windows 8
kimdvmMarch 15, 2013
Pros
Works with google cloud printer and google drive.
Cons
No online troubleshooting information if you have problems with your installation.
Summary
I downloaded this product to use with Google Cloud Print. I haven't tried the other output options. I spent several hours trying to get it to install on my laptop running Windows 8 including installing, uninstalling, deleting registry keys, etc. I was able to get install it on my desktop machine which runs Windows 7 so I decided to try the compatability troubleshooter which worked. (Right click on installation file and select "troubleshoot compatability, choose to manual option and pick Windows 7, the installation program will start when you click "test". You may have to wait a long time for the installation to progress - a really long time)
Simply doesn't work
RaesPaulOctober 21, 2012
Pros
There are no positive points. This application simply doesn't work. The only thing that works well is getting rid of your money.
Cons
It doesn't work. You need to install it as administrator and any one who wants to use it from a non administrator log in get's it's computer blocked when he wants to add a 'google cloud printer', because the application wants to create the printer list in the administrators folder. Their Support simply doesn't reply to your email. No wonder you cannot try it for free. No one would buy this.
Summary
Don't waste your good money to this kind of rip off companies.
not free for 30 days
reretedApril 11, 2011
Pros
none sales scam
Cons
can not use free at all requires you to register and pay before any use
Summary
crap
very useful programme
mpaulburnsSeptember 15, 2008
Pros
I write music in a composition programme, and I can then print it using paperless printer as a jpeg, enabling me to cut and paste, etc, arranging the music just as I like.
Cons
I found that the jpegs wouldn't open in my normal editing suite, but if I dragged them into Microsoft Paint and resaved them, then they became recognisable in my normal suite afterwards, so a slightly cumbersome programme.
Summary
For a freebie, I find it very useful
