How do I print and pay for printing in the Library?
The printing system at the Library is called PaperCut. You can add money to your PaperCut account using any computer on campus, or at the pay station at the Library's second floor.
Step One: Add money to your PaperCut account
- Go to https://papercut.losrios.edu/user
- You will need to be on campus with your device and logged in to the Los Rios WiFi (Network: LRCCD)
- How to Connect to Campus WiFi
- Log in to PaperCut with your student ID (w#) and Los Rios password. Add money to your PaperCut account using a credit card.
Or, add money to your PaperCut account using cash or a credit card. Begin by logging into the pay station located on the Library's 2nd floor near the Research Help Desk (pay station pictured below).
Step Two: Log in to PaperCut and upload your document
- Once logged into PaperCut on your laptop or a Library computer, click Web Print to send your print job. From the list of printers, select Sacramento City College - choose either the B&W (black and white) printer or the color printer.
- Visit one of the four release stations located on the Library's 2nd floor. You will log in to a release station with your W ID number and Los Rios password in order to pay for and release your print job.
Three of the release stations are black-and-white printers (pictured below). The color printer release station is on the east side of the Library.
Printing costs
Printing costs 10 cents a page for black-and-white and 55 cents a page for color.
Once you add funds to your PaperCut account, the money will remain on your account for the duration of your time as a Los Rios student. No refunds for remaining funds are given by the Business Services Office to outgoing students. Please take care to add only as much money as you intend to use for printing while you are enrolled at Los Rios.
Sending jobs from your device
To print from a personal device documents/files need to be uploaded to the Los Rios PaperCut website in your device browser. This means printing from mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets is only possible if the file is saved in your device files (e.g. photos, iCloud, etc.), rather than within an application like Canvas. Additionally, you'll need to use the desktop version of PaperCut on your phone in order to upload your print job to PaperCut. So, it might be easier to print from your laptop or from a computer in the library rather than from a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet.
