Adding the FollowMePrint Printer Queue to a Computer
In order to better track our printer resources (toner and paper), the district has implemented monitored printer queues. Because of this monitoring, each person that logs into a computer will have to set up access to the printers individually. Please follow the directions below to gain access to the "FollowMePrint" printer queue.
- Login to a classroom computer using your normal username and password.
- Click on the Windows icon in the bottom left corner:
- Type:
\\papercut
then press ENTER
NOTE: as you begin typing the "search box will appear" - This will bring up a new window with all of the printers in the district on our print queue monitoring system:
- Locate the "FollowMePrint" icon from the list you see and double-click on it.
- This will install the printer under your name and you will be able to send print jobs to it.
- When sending print jobs to the "FollowMePrint" printer you will do the following:
- Once you have sent your print job to the "FollowMePrint" printer you can go to ANY of the printer/copiers located within our school offices that have a "badge reader"
- Once you come to the copier/printer swipe your ID badge over the sensor
- After you have swiped your badge you should see your username on the screen indicating you are logged into the copier
- From this screen, you should see a button that says "Release Print"
- Hitting this button will show you any print jobs you have sent
- From this point, you can "release" the print job (or jobs) to get your copies.
