Issue: Sometimes I can't print. I don't even get the little box that asks me which account I'd like to charge.
Environment: Employee workstations, PaperCut client, selection dialog window, Windows, macOS
Resolution: The PaperCut client on each workstation is responsible for displaying the account selection dialog. If the dialog does not appear when submitting print jobs, reboot the workstation to restart the PaperCut client. Alternatively, you can follow the steps below to restart the client without restarting the computer.
(If the job is being released at an MFD, follow the steps outlined in the "Selecting an Account at the MFD" section in the Printing: Shared Accounting article to select an account at the device.)
