Papercut: No Printers or Incorrect Printers

Students - No Printers Available QUICK FIX

If after logging in a student doesn't have access to any printers:

  1. After saving their work, have the student click on Start then click on the User Symbol and choose Sign out (see image below).
  2. Have the student move to a different station and log back in.
    • Do not just have the student login on another station without first signing out of the first station.  If they don't sign out of the first station, the problem will follow them to the next.
  3. Report the station that is not loading printers to the Equipment & Media Services staff at your campus.  Make sure to include the station ID.

Access to printers is part of the login process. When a student logs on, their profile is loaded which includes the printers they have access to. The reason printers are not available is that sometimes during the login, script assigning of printers gets missed.

When a job is sent to print, if the the correct library printers are not installed, one of these messages below may appear on the workstation and  the print job  may not show in the print queue at the MFD.
