Printing from a Web Browser (Web Print)<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h4>\n

The easiest way to submit a print job is through the PaperCut customer portal<\/a> which allows users to submit PDF and raster images via a web browser without the need to install printer drivers. Currently, printer options are limited to black and white and color laser printers across campus.<\/p>\n

To submit a print via Web Print:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Log into the PaperCut customer portal<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Navigate to the Web Print<\/strong> page<\/li>\n
  3. Click Submit A Job<\/strong> to start the Web Print Wizard<\/li>\n
  4. Select a printer by the type of output and final print size (files will be resized to fit the selected page size) then click 2.Print Options and Account Selection<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Select the desired print options and account (the account can be changed when releasing the job at the device) then click 3.Upload Documents<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. Upload your file(s) to be printed then click Upload & Complete<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A popup will appear displaying a message that your job is held in queue and the Web Print page will show recent jobs with information on the print queue, number of pages, and cost of job. To find the nearest printer, visit our Printer Locations & Pricing<\/a> page. For instructions on how to release print jobs, visit our Print Release<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

    \"\"Printing from a SAIC Computer<\/h3>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Public access computers in labs and classrooms will have all the print drivers installed for B&W and Color Laser printer queues, as well as any wide-format printers within the building. To submit a print job, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

    Managing Printers using Print Deploy<\/h4>\n

    \"\"After restarting your computer, you’ll notice the Print Deploy printer management ICON show up in your menu system. You should be prompted to login into PaperCut. Please use your SAIC Username and Password.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The Print Deploy Client is where you’ll manage your installed printers. Note that Print Deploy installs the Color and BW Laser printers by default<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Click on Add Printers<\/strong> to find wide-format printers that you’d like to install (Note, currently PC users only have BW and Color Laser options)<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    You can install or uninstall printers at any time (B&W and Color Laser Print Queues are not configurable)<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The main benefit of Print Deploy is that it allows end users to control printers installed on their system and if a Print Driver is updated Print Deploy automatically updates everything for you!<\/p>\n
