stoPrint - MacOS (campus computers)

How to install & print to the stoPrint & stoPrint-color printers from a Mac OS college-owned computer.

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 use their personal devices and need to charge print jobs to a Department Account.
• Printing sensitive documents (because it requires you to release - and watch - the document print at the printer).
• Students who print from a campus computer.
• Students who cannot print using stoPrint-personal on their personal device (which, by the way, if you cannot get it working, please contact the IT Helpdesk for help first. Simply fill out this form.)

If you are using a St. Olaf computer, the printing software PCClient (PaperCut) and stoPrint printers are already installed on your computer; please skip to the How to Print section. However, if you've searched your computer and cannot find the software, or if printing isn't working, please follow these steps:
