Printing Services (Computer Services)

Service Description

All College users (staff and students) have access to printing services.  Almost all College workgroup printers are laser printers and are networked through one of the main file & print servers on an Active Directory system.  Access to these network printers therefore, requires users to login into a computing device with their College account.

Staff - will have, at minimum, access to workgroup a grade black & white laser printers/photocopiers from within their departments.  Colour laser printers are available for staff use in some departments.  What specific printing services are available within a given department will vary.  Users should contact their department manager, or the Computer Services Help Desk (by calling 475-6488 or e-mailing to [email protected]) to help them determine what printing services are available to them.  Most College departments are responsible for paying for the printing costs (toner & related supplies) for their own printers on their own.

Students – may access printing services via student lab computers located throughout the College campus buildings.  Most computer labs allow students to print to centrally located b/w as well as colour laser printers.  Smaller computer labs will only have b/w printing access for students.  All College students are on ‘pay-for-print’ system.  Students are automatically given $36 dollars / year for printing.  Each time students print, the College’s PaperCut ™ print accounting system automatically decrements the students available balance.   Click on the ‘Pay for Print’ link below for more information on student pay-for-print services.  In addition to printing on PC’s, the PaperCut ™ accounting system also allows students to do ‘Web Print’ and ‘E-mail Print’ so that printing can be done on personal computing devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

College Printshop – the College also has a central Printshop department.  The Printshop uses production level b/w and colour printers to print large print volume work as well as other specialty print services (i.e. binding, booklet making, folding, cutting, posters, laminating, and custom print) required by the College community.  The Printshop charges for all print orders.
