SMUS Papercut

What is Papercut?

Papercut allows us to simplify our printing structure considerably. This has several benefits, including:

• "Find-me" printing. You do not have to select a printer when you send your print job. You can print to Papercut then release the job anywhere.
• Print release. When you walk up to a Papercut printer, you just scan your staff or student card and the system does the rest. The job is released to the printer you're standing at, ensuring the security of the document you print. This also saves time, as you can print a whole bunch of different jobs, then go and release/collect them all at once.
• Faster logon times. Instead of connecting to every printer that you could possibly print to when you log in, we only connect to Papercut. Everything else is done automatically when you print.
• Consolidation of all of our separate print systems. You can print to Papercut from Windows, Mac, iOS, Chromebooks, and SDS. Regardless of how you print, you can walk up to any printer and release all of your jobs.

How do I retrieve my print job?

Once you have printed your job, walk up to any Papercut printer and scan your staff/student barcode at the print release station. Your job should print shortly afterwards. If it does not, you may not be in our system. Come down to the IT department and we'll make sure you're set up.

What if I don't have a student or staff card?

If you are a student or staff member without a card, purchase one at the campus shop. You also get one for free if you get your photo taken at photo day.

Other personnel who want to print (houseparent spouses, contractors, etc.) need to get a barcode from the IT department. Come down and talk to us and we'll get you sorted out.
