How do I print from a personal device to library printers?
To print from a personal device documents/files need to be uploaded to your account on the Los Rios PaperCut website in your device browser.
Printing from devices such as smartphones or tablets, etc. is only possible if the file is not in another application (e.g., Canvas) but in your device files (e.g., photos, iCloud, etc.).
It is recommended that you print from a personal desktop computer, laptop or computer in the library rather than from a smartphone or tablet as library staff will likely not be able to assist you with troubleshooting issues with various mobile devices.
Log in to PaperCut with your student ID (w#) and Los Rios password.
Select “Web Print” from the left hand menu
Click on the green “Submit a Job” button
Under “Location/Department” there will be two options for “ARC Library”
“Library_Printers” is for printing in black and white
“Library_Printer_Color” is for printing in color
Once you have selected the printer, scroll down and click the green button “Print Options and Account Selection”
Click on the green button “Upload Documents”
You can drag and drop files or click the green button “Upload from computer”
Note the allowed file types
After adding your file(s) click the green button at the bottom to “Upload & Complete”
You may need to wait a few seconds for your files to be uploaded
In the menu on the left click on “Jobs Pending Release".
From that screen you will see a list of jobs you have sent to be printed including information for each job:
the submit time
which printer(s) you sent to ("Library_Printers" = black and white. "Library Printers_Color" = color),
document type and partial title,
number of pages
Cost
Click [print] in the “ACTION” column on the far right to release prints.
If printing Black and White (labeled “Library_Printers on arc…”) you will need to pick one of the three printers in the library - it does not matter which one you choose.
Once you click on the green printer name your print will be released.
Library printers are across from the Circulation desk near the entrance to the library.
Make sure you don’t accidentally take someone else’s prints!
