Authentication Method: Entra ID
Authentication is done using your Microsoft Entra ID, a cloud-hosted account based on your University Active Directory (AD) account, which is your first initial, last name, sometimes with a number (example: jsmith3).
- For those with UR accounts, the Entra username format is ADusername@ur.rochester.edu (example: jsmith3@ur.rochester.edu)
- For those with URMC accounts, the Entra username format is your URMC email address, such as First_Last@urmc.rochester.edu (example: jsmith3@urmc.rochester.edu)
The Entra sign in page looks like the image below. You will click the Sign in with Microsoft button and sign in with your Entra ID. Your password is the same password you use to log in to other University systems.
Note: Entra ID is also what you use to log in to Microsoft 365 Applications (Cloud and Desktop Clients).
Students
PaperCut is used for printing, copying, and scan to email. Students can use their Rocky Bucks balance or Visitor Cards* for payment at the printer. Important note: Visitor Cards can only pay for printing submitted from public/lab computers.
Students have four options for using PaperCut:
- Install the PaperCut Print Deploy Client on student-owned computers. (Public/lab computers already have the app installed.) Installing the client allows you to manage printers and print queues and use advanced features. Tutorial Note: Do not download the PaperCut mobile app from an app store, as it will not work.
- Email your print job(s) to papercutprint@ur.rochester.edu | Tutorial
- Upload your print job(s) via web browser: print2.rochester.edu | Tutorial
- Use a University-managed public/lab computer. These computers will have PaperCut pre-installed. Tutorial
