As a student, how do I print on campus and pay for it?
Environment
PaperCut
Solution
Students can print on campus from lab computers or their personal device (laptop, phone, or tablet). Printing is charged to Thunder Bucks per page, $0.02 for black & white and $0.06 for color.
There are printers available in:
- Williams Library
- TC15 (basement) computer lab
- Great Plains East dorm
Print from a Lab Computer
When using lab computers in the Williams Library and TC15 (basement) computer lab, you may directly print without needing to "release" the print job.
For example, selecting "Library-TB-BW on nsu-ps03" will print to the Library's black and white printer.
Print from a Personal Device
Is this your first time printing? If so, please install PaperCut on your laptop, phone, or tablet:
- Go to https://print.northern.edu:9164/setup
- Click Download, then follow the prompts on screen.
Printing:
- When printing on your device, select "SecureHold-TB" as the print destination.
- You can "release" the print job in two ways:
- Walk up to the printer, then scan the QR code with your phone's "camera" app. You will be prompted to sign in with your Wolves account and password, then Release the print job.
- Go to https://print.northern.edu:9192/user, sign in with your Wolves account, then go to Jobs Pending Release and select the printer location.
