When printing to the stoPrint or stoPrint-color printers, your documents will be held in a print "queue." This allows you to choose any MFC on campus to release (print) your document. Typical use cases:
- Faculty and Staff who don't have an MFC near their office/department.
- Printing sensitive documents (because it requires you to release - and watch - the document print at the printer).
- Students who print from a campus computer.
By default, if you are using a St. Olaf computer, the printing software PCClient (PaperCut) and stoPrint printers are already installed on your computer. However, if you've searched your computer and cannot find the software, nor printers, please scroll down to the Install section below.
