I forgot my University ID badge. How can I print?

You can sign in to your PaperCut account online and add a PIN, then log in with your URID and PIN at a printer, using the keypad. Or, you can buy a Visitor Card. If using a Visitor Card, you can only print from a University-managed lab computer via the Visitor queue, not from your own device, via web upload, or email to print.

I am not seeing my job when I swipe at a printer. What do I do?

Did you swipe your URochester ID Badge?

If you are swiping a Rocky Bucks card or entering a Visitor Print & Copy Card number, you will not see any jobs sent by email or upload. The only way to pay for jobs with a Visitor Card is to submit them from a public/lab computer via the Visitor-Print queue. See Visitor Queue for further details.

What happens if I make a mistake? Can I get a refund?

You should preview your work by using the application’s Print Preview capability before sending it for printing to determine if there are any errors.

You cannot cancel a job once you have authorized it at a Print Release Station. However, you can choose not to release unwanted jobs. Jobs not released will be deleted after 2 hours and you will not be charged.

For River Campus: Refunds are not offered by University IT or the River Campus Libraries. If the Help Desk is contacted within eight hours of the print job having been sent, the document can be re-printed at no additional charge if the reprint request is due to poor or damaged output (faded output or lost pages due a jam), or a system error.

If pages are lost due to a corrupted PDF or image printing issue, you will need to visit the Help Desk in the IT Center in the ground floor of Rush Rhees Library for assistance or the ECM Help Desk in Hoyt Hall.

For other URochester Campuses: Contact the University IT Help Desk at univithelp@rochester.edu or (585) 275-2000

I sent a job to the printer but decided I no longer want to print it. What do I do?

You do not need to do anything. The job will be deleted automatically from the queue after 2 hours. Additionally, your print job(s) are only visible to you, so no one else can print your documents.

You can also select the job in the queue and choose Delete.

I released my print job from the queue, but it failed to print, and I was still charged.

Failed print jobs that are the result of a corrupted pdf, mobile print failure, or an image printing issue can be resolved by visiting the help desk in the IT Center. If a re-print request is due to printer error (poor or damaged output, such as; faded print jobs, streaky output, or lost pages due to a jam) or a system error, the document can be re-printed at no additional charge.

Please visit the IT Center Help Desk for assistance.
