Tech Services Computer Labs, Approving and Releasing your Print Job

On this page, you can find information to help you release a printing job from the Technology Services printing system queue to a printer in an ICS computer lab.

Introduction

When you print to a Technology Services printing system printer, your print job is held in a queue until released. The print job will be deleted if it is not released within an hour.

Where to release print jobs

You can release print jobs from the PaperCut User Portal from any computer connected to internet. Or, you can use the Print Release station for that printer if one is provided. 

PaperCut User Portal

Visit https://papercut.ics.illinois.edu/ and log in with your campus netid and password. Once logged in, you will have several options from the left side bar. You can see a summary of your print jobs, print history, and Illini Cash balances. To release your file to the printer, select "Jobs Pending Release" from the left side menu bar.
