Printing In Co-Working , Does Papercut or the infrastructure suck ?

Good Evening all,

I have taken on a co-working space with a pretty crappy print management infrastructure. There are 3 locations , 2 locations with vpn tunnels to the 3rd location which has on-site server running the printing application. Users are required to run a script on their device and register their devices in order to print. This application is Papercut.

My proposed solution has been to run a separate server at each location hosting the printing application however I am worried the overall application itself, Papercut, is not the best solution here.

Some issues we have, printers losing connectivity to the server even though they are statically assigned, Windows devices operations fine while MacOS devices not (and vice-versa). Inability to log into Papercut instance even though the server and printer can be reached locally.

Would love to hear your thoughts !
