If you send documents to the printer called LIB242 in the Main Library, you will need to release your print jobs by logging in with your username and password.
LIS has undertaken an ambitious project to implement print management for all public printers. This week, LIS will test one aspect of the print management system. We have temporarily installed two print release stations in LIB242 to evaluate the print release station, and your feedback is critical to the testing. Please try out the new stations and tell us what you think. If you experience problems, please contact the HelpDesk. Printers without release stations are available on the 3rd floor (LIB303) and the lower level (LIB142) of the Main Library.
Q&A on New Print Management System
-
What is a print release station? A print release station allows users (faculty, staff, students, and guests) to release their print jobs to the printers rather than using the current configuration that immediately prints jobs to the printers.
-
Why install a print release station? A print release station should reduce the number of unnecessary or duplicate print jobs from being printed, giving the user greater control over their printing and increasing printer availability.
-
How does a print release station work? When a user sends a document to the printer, it will queue on the print release station. The user must log into the station using their Middlebury username and password to view jobs they submitted. The user sees only the documents that they sent to the printer. They can release or cancel the print request.
