Releasing the print

Once you've printed, there will be a bit of a delay while the print "spools". Once this has spooling is finished you may see a message like this:

You must release the print job via PaperCut, our networked print spooler. This prevents waste of such expensive resources.

Any Science, Art Department, and Technology Department faculty members can release a print job to the large format printer.
