Student Printing and Scanning - FAQ
General FAQ
If you need help, have questions, problems, or concerns call the IT Service Center.
Yes. In most areas, you can send jobs to printers in nearby computing labs if you have the right remote printing driver installed on your computer. Learn more about remote printing drivers.
No. The paper trays, including manual feed, are not available to the customer.
If you printed from a computer lab, your print jobs are linked to you, so swiping your own Buff OneCard is the only way to display your print job.
If you specifically chose to print to a Campus Cash Card print queue, either from a computer lab or your personal device, you entered a Buff OneCard number or Campus Cash Card number before sending your print job. At the release station, make sure you're swiping the card whose number you entered, or your print job will not be found.
Try printing from a computer with an English version of the operating system you are using. There are non-English language versions of most operating systems. Many of these use character sets that are not supported by the English language versions of software available on campus, and\or use fonts that are not supported by the SPS system. If the document is a PDF, try using the print as image function.
If you are having trouble getting a document on a website to print, you can try one of the following methods:
- Download the document to the local desktop and then print.
- If the document is a PDF, try using the print as image function.
- When sending the job, make sure that the paper size the job is requesting is supported by the printer model you are sending it to. All available SPS printers will support letter size paper. All Multifunction devices support letter, legal and tabloid sizes. More information about specific printer capabilities is available on the SPS web site.
Many of the PDF documents that are problematic were created using older versions of the Adobe Acrobat program. Acrobat Reader, which is the default application for opening these documents, doesn’t always work well with older PDF’s. If you are having trouble getting a PDF to print, you can try one of the following methods:
- Try using the print as image function.
- Use a workstation that has a full version of Adobe Acrobat (Adobe Acrobat Pro )vs. the Adobe Reader program.
- Convert the PDF document to the current format using the most recent version of Adobe Acrobat Pro.
- Download the document to the local desktop and then print.
- Convert the PDF document to a Microsoft Word document.
Print charges, quotas, and refunds
- B&W: First side of print $.10/second side of same sheet $0.09
- Color: $0.50/page
Yes. Refer to information regarding student quota.
In labs, users swipe a Buff OneCard at the Print Release Station (PRS) or enter their Campus Cash Card number when prompted. They can then select the job they want to print from the queue and the cost of the job will be displayed. That amount is charged against their quota or balance in their Campus Cash Account when the job is printed.
Students, faculty, and staff can add value to their accounts at the Campus Card Office or by visiting the Online Card Office.
Yes, the cardholder should contact the Campus Card Office immediately through the On-Line Card Office or by calling 303-492-1212. Using either method will suspend your accounts and card until you visit the Campus Card Office in person to re-activate your suspended card.
Yes at the Campus Card Office or Online Card Office. Making deposits by credit card is available 24/7 via the web’s Online Card Office.
Campus Card Office will accept cash, major credit cards, ACARDs, and IN’s. Visitors to the web site can use a major credit card.
Immediately when made by the web or at the Campus Card Office. Deposits are posted to your account in real-time using any of these methods.
The PRS is required to release a job. If it is out of service, OIT will dispatch a technician promptly. If the facility has multiple PRS’s, the job can be paid for and released at one of these other stations.
Printing both sides counts as two pages, however the 2nd page is discounted. The rates are as follows:
- B&W: First side of print $.10, and the second side of the same sheet is $0.09.
This is to encourage customers to save paper whenever possible.
No. The same rate is charged regardless of whether they are paid in advance or the number of pages printed.
