Printing in the Library

If you are having trouble printing, refer to this guide for help.

  1. Open what you would like to print on a computer in the library.
  2. Press print, the printer should automatically be set up, so you do not need to select a printer. Select 'Print'. There will be a pop-up asking for a username and password. This will be your K-number and password you have previously set up.
  3. There will be another pop-up that your document is held in queue at the print release station. 
  4. Enter the same username and password at the printing station to release your documents to printer.

Looking for a printer? There are printing stations throughout the library. There is one near the service desk when you first enter the library that includes a machine to add money to your printing account and one located in the Main Stacks outside of the Silent Zone.

Printing is 5 cents per page and available in black and white only in the library.

Money added to your account will remain there for any future printing if you select 'Add to my personal account', however it will not carry over to new semesters. In addition, once it is added to your account it is non-refundable, so be sure to use it all up before the end of each semester.

Still having trouble? Contact the Student Help Desk.

 

Scanning

Looking for a scanner? The library has an easy to use scanner near the library service desk which allows you to send your image to:

  • an email
  • a USB drive
  • the printer

While scanning is free, the cost to print is 5 cents per page. 

Printing from your own device

Wireless printing from personal devices is available though PaperCut in the Academic Support Center (A-201), and the Ottawa Center. Follow these instructions to print from personally owned devices: 

1. Go to: https://papercut.ivcc.edu:9192/

If you see a message telling you that the connection is not secure (or a similar message) you will need to allow the connection by selecting "Advanced" and "Add Exception" or "Proceed to PaperCut" (wording may differ depending on what browser you are using).  

2. Log in to PaperCutMF using your IVCC network login** 

Username: K-number

Password: The one that you created when logging onto a campus computer previously

If you have forgotten your password, see the Student Help Desk.

3. Select "Web Print"

4. Select "Submit a Job" 

4. Follow the onscreen directions to select a printer, number of copies, and upload your file by selecting "Upload Documents". 

5. Once you have finished selecting the documents you would like to print, select "Upload & Complete."  Your print job is complete when you receive the message "Held in a queue" in the Status column.

6. Go to the print release station in your selected location, log in using the same IVCC network login you used above, place in your money (five cents per page) and select print next to your print job.  Note: You have 45 minutes to print your file.  After 45 minutes, your print job will be deleted from the queue.  

**If you have never logged onto an IVCC computer, you will need to do this to establish a network password.  If you have forgotten your network password, please see the Student Help Desk in the Academic Support Center A-201).
