Retrieval of Documents Printed to an HP Printer/Copier

Documents sent to the NWFollowMe (or MobilityPrint on an Apple device) print queue are not automatically printed.  Instead, they are sent to a queue that can be accessed by any HP printer/copier across campus.  In order for the document to be printed, the print job will have to be released at the chosen HP printer/copier.  The releasing of a print job varies depending on whether or not the PaperCut Client was used to designate the billing FOAP at the time the print job was created.

Releasing Print Jobs when FOAP was Designated using PaperCut Client

PaperCut allows departments to more easily manage departmental billing for printing through the use of FOAPs.  After sending a document to print on a device with the PaperCut Client installed, PaperCut will prompt you to select the billing FOAP.  See PaperCut and Requesting Printer Access for more information.

At the HP printer/copier:

1. Tap the printer screen and swipe your Bearcat ID card.
   • You can also select Sign In and proceed with your Northwest Network Account username and password or use your 919# (ID number) and corresponding PIN if you have created one.
2. Select Print Release.  A list of print jobs sent from your account will be displayed.
3. Check the box for the job(s) you want to print.  If you want to print all jobs listed, check Select all jobs.
4. Select Print.
5. Sign out of the printer/copier using the button in the top right corner of the screen next to your name.

Releasing Pring Jobs when FOAP has Not been Designated using PaperCut Client

If the PaperCut Client is not installed on the device you are printing from or you have opted to skip the PaperCut Client step, then you will need to assign the billing FOAP when releasing the print job at an HP printer/copier.

At the HP printer/copier:

1. Tap the printer screen and swipe your Bearcat ID card.
   • You can also select Sign In and proceed with your Northwest Network Account username and password or use your 919# (ID number) and corresponding PIN if you have created one.
2. Select Print Release.  A list of print jobs sent from your account will be displayed.
3. Check the box for the job(s) you want to print.  If you want to print all jobs listed, check Select all jobs.
4. Select Print.
5. Select the billing FOAP for the print job(s).
6. Select Print.
7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for each job you need to print using a different budget.
8. Sign out of the printer/copier using the button in the top right corner of the screen next to your name.

Installing Printers on the PERI Server for Personal Use

PERI print queues should be used by faculty and staff when printing personal or non-work-related documents.  The use of print queues on PERI means the printing bill will be sent to your personal account rather than to a departmental budget.

Users who print to a campus networked printer on the PERI print server are auto-billed by their login credentials for the size of their print job.

• Black and white printing is 10 cents per page.
• Color printing is 25 cents per page.
• Tabloid colored copies are 50 cents per page.
• Your specific printing charges will appear on your University bill the next business day.
