Printing: Quick Start Guide

Printing at Carleton

PaperCut is Carleton's print management solution. Documents get sent to Carleton printers through PaperCut, in two ways:

• Through Webprint (available from any browser)

• Through the PaperCut application on Carleton-managed computers

  • This runs silently in the background for most faculty and staff, but presents a login screen on shared-use computers and for some people who have to print from multiple accounts.

How to Print

• Faculty/Staff Computers

• Lab and Shared Use Computers

• Personal Computers: WebPrint

• Student Printing: Managing your Printing Quota

Common Questions

How do I print if I've forgotten my OneCard?

1. Visit go.carleton.edu/webprint

2. Log in using your Carleton username and password.

3. Select "Jobs Pending Release" from the left side.

4. Click "release" for the job you'd like to release; this acts just like releasing it using your OneCard at a release station. Some printers let you manually log in with your Carleton credentials via the touch screen, though not all printers have this.

How do I print from my personal computer?

Follow the WebPrint directions.
