Papercut for Oxy-Issued Computers
If you are an employee of the College (faculty or staff) or are a student who works on an office desktop for your campus job, Papercut will be pre-installed on your computer. How do I know if Papercut is there or not? On Windows find the Papercut printer icon in the Taskbar: On Mac find the Papercut printer icon in the Menu Bar: Printer Icon not appearing? Try again to install. On a Windows PC, restart your computer while connected to the campus network (wifi or ethernet). Note that your computer might ask you for your permission to install a new driver. For example on Windows you may see a yellow flashing icon, admin shield in the taskbar at bottom or user access control prompt: click yes on the shield (might ask more than once). On a Mac, restart your computer while connected to the campus network (wifi or ethernet). If you are on Ventura OS, first go to System Preferences/Settings --> Privacy: enable full disk access for pc-print-deploy-client. Your computer will now automatically start installing your print queues. Not seeing a specific printer you'd like to use? The printer(s) you'll receive are those associated with your department or work area. Sometimes you might use another printer regularly or be on the go around campus. To print to a different printer you can "Release to Print." Go to Release-Ricoh or Release-HP and then when you arrive at the desired printer, use the QR code to release your print job. The code will look something like this example:

Printing for Students and Personal Devices
This article applies to students using their own computers, mobile devices, and employees who use a non-Oxy issued (personal) computer or mobile device. If you are an employee with an Oxy-issued computer, follow these instructions instead. Printing Instructions by OS: Mobile Device: iOS https://papercutmobile.oxy.edu/client-setup/dns/ios.html Android: https://papercutmobile.oxy.edu/client-setup/dns/android.html Chrome: https://papercutmobile.oxy.edu/client-setup/dns/chrome.html Laptops: MacOS: https://oxy.freshservice.com/support/solutions/articles/13000829141 Windows: https://oxy.freshservice.com/support/solutions/articles/13000811220 (select "students" or "employees" from the printer list once you Run) Print to "Students" or "Employees" The new print queue name is "students" or "employees." This queue can be released at any printer you are authorized to use. You must be connected to the campus internet and registered to oNet with your user name and password (not as Guest). Please note that the old software (Pharos), which was called "Academic Commons," or another specific printer name, will no longer work. The printers will default to double sided. If you need to print single sided or need finishing features (sort, staple, hole punch), please print from a Library Computer located near the printer. Special Note for Macs Be sure that you are using your Oxy username and password to print. Macs will automatically populate the username and password for the printer with the name of your computer log in, which is not the same as your Oxy username and password. Release by Card Tap The printers in the Library, Fowler and ResHalls use tap to release. This is very similar to the previous Pharos process of swiping your Oxy ID card. Print to "students" or "employees." Go to the printer. We are using proximity sensors rather than a mag stripe now so just place your card or wallet onto the sensor. Alternatively you can log in with your username and password. You can click Print all from here or go to Print Release and review your individual jobs. Device Functions will let you copy. Scan will allow you to scan to email. Back Up Option: Release by QR Code If you forget your ID card, you can also release using the QR code posted on the printer. It will look something like this QR code below: The QR code will take you to your available print jobs. Alternatively you can skip the QR code entirely and just login. https://papercut.oxy.edu/mobile/release#/login If you click on Printers in the upper left corner you can see all available printers where you can release this job.
