Printing: Instructions for Guests

How to Get a Printing Card

Visitors to the college, including St. Olaf faculty, staff, and students, may borrow a Guest card to print. These are available at the Library service desks and at the ITS Helpdesk.

How to Use a Printing Card

1. Start the process as you normally would when printing something on a personal computer, but on a Carleton lab computer. Generally this means clicking on File > Print while looking at your document or image, selecting a printer and your printing options, and then clicking Print

   1. Printer names start with an abbreviated version of the Building name followed by a room number where that printer is located

   2. Printer names end with the model number of the printer in question

2. PaperCut will prompt you to login. Use the username and password printed on the front of the OneCard you are using

   1. Username: guest[card number] (e.g. guest12345]

   2. Password: print1onUs

3. Go to the printer you selected, swipe or tap your Guest card 

   1. You will see a list of jobs you have sent; for each job, there are links to "Print" the job or cancel the job. 

4. Tap Print to print your document

5. Return the Guest print card to the service desk
