    • CFOP (University account number) - this will be a 19 digit number in the format [1 digit]-[6 digits]-[6 digits]-[6 digits]
    • A list of NetIDs that should be able to charge copies / prints to that CFOP
  • If you are a student, have your PI contact us (scs-computing@illinois.edu) on your behalf with the above information so we know you are permitted access. 

    • IMPORTANT: If you do not select an account, your Personal Account WILL be charged instead by default.

Printing from any other device (Linux, Mac, non-domain Windows, or smartphone)

If you are using a computer not in the UofI Domain (e.g. you are using a personal device, you log in with a local account, or are using a Mac), then you'll need to use Webprint to print. While this can accept many file types, we recommend converting to PDF before printing.

  1. Log in to the PaperCut Web App: https://papercut.ics.illinois.edu
  2. Click on Web Print on the left panel
  3. Click the Submit a Job >> box
  4. In the "Quick Search" text box, select SCS to only show SCS printers.
  5. Select the desired printer and click the Print Options and Account Selection >> box
  6. On the next page enter how many copies you want to make and select which account to charge (Personal or a CFOPA) then click Upload Documents
  7. Either drag the file or click Upload from computer and choose the file you want to print. The supported file types are listed below this box.
  8. Select Upload & Complete when done.
  9. To finish printing, either go to the printer and log in and release the print job or click on Jobs Pending Release on the website you just submitted the job and release the job.
    • You can log into the device itself to release the document, or use the website on a mobile device.
    • NOTE: For best document security, it is best to release the document only when you are at the device.

Be sure to include: 

  • Which printer you are using
