PaperCut
  • Adding/Removing Class Year Groups in PaperCut PaperCut Each summer, starting end of June/early July HEOP students are on campus and require the ability to print. This process should be completed each year before HEOP students arrive. This is an annual DIS task and an event has been placed on the DIS calendar to be completed the last week in June. Be sure to have NS create a snapshot of \\printx and/or complete a manual back up of the PaperCut database before making any changes to users accounts and groups in PaperCut. This task is best performed during time when there is low print activity. Add the incoming class user accounts into PaperCut 1. Open PaperCut admin in web browser  http://printx:9191/admin 2. Go to Groups tab 3. Click Add/Remove groups in left column 4. Select class year group  you want to sync from AD from the Available list and click Apply. 5. You will see a status window indicating new users were added and associated with the new group. 6. NOTE:  We will now likely be over our license limit for PaperCut.  This is okay temporarily. They give you a generous grace period to reduce the number of users and/or buy more licenses. Move recent grads working on campus and doing summer research to the Class_of_Other AD group Rationale:  There are always some recent grads that remain on campus to work through Reunions and then leave. Others continue to work through the summer and/or remain on campus doing research and need to maintain their printing access until the end of August. 1. These students can be identified by running an Ad-hoc User List report in PaperCut admin for the recent graduating class and looking at the Last Activity column. a. Report tab – User tab – User list - Ad-hoc report -  output as a CSV 2. Use your best judgment to determine who is actively printing after Reunions based on the above report (users who are still printing ~ 2 weeks after Reunions end) and then add those student’s AD accounts to the Class_of_Other group for continued uninterrupted print access until their accounts are deactivated and eventually deleted by NS. Remove the recent graduating class user accounts from PaperCut 1. Go to Groups tab and search for the class year group you want to remove. 2. Click on group’s name to open group details. 3. Click Other bulk user actions in the left column. 4. User Selection a. Perform operations on users in this group (be careful not to do this for All Users group!) b. Select appropriate group if not already selected.  Ex. Class_of_xxx c. Check box for and whose last activity was and change option to After this date. Enter a date approximately 2 weeks after Reunions ended in June.  (refer to report run above) 5. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to the Delete Users section and check Delete users. 6. Click OK and all the users except those with print activity after the defined date will be removed. You should see a status window indication X number of users were deleted. 7. Go back to Group tab 8. Click Add/Remove groups in left column 9. Select class year group you want to stop syncing with AD from Selected list and click Apply. 10. Now go to AD Users & Computer and remove the recent graduating class from the PaperCut_Students group (otherwise all of them will be re-added during the nightly sync to the PaperCut_Students group)

  • Printing at Hamilton College PaperCut Printing from your own personal computer Windows Instructions Macintosh Instructions Frequently Asked Questions Background History PaperCut™ Print Management, Fall 2010 In the fall 2010, Hamilton implemented a system called Papercut™ for managing laser printing on campus. This builds on a pilot project done last year (see below for the three year history of this project that was initiated by the faculty Committee on Information Technology). The ultimate goal of this project is to save institutional resources (by reducing Hamilton’s carbon footprint, saving trees and reducing energy consumption) without adversely affecting the academic program. Using Papercut, students are assigned a quota limit for free printing ranging from approximately 850/sides/semester for first year students to 2000/sides/semester for seniors. For the fall 2010 we will be trying out all the elements of the system. Students will not be charged if they go over their quota. At the end of the semester we will study the data for students who exceed their quotas to determine if adjustments need to be made based on their academic programs. The system should be fully operational for the start of spring 2011 semester. Students will be alerted when they approach their quota and will be allowed an overdraft of $2.00 before having to add additional money to their account. Individuals who go beyond their quota will obtain a “top-up” card at the circulation desk in the Burke Library (at no cost during this semester). The cost of printing has been adjusted so that a two-sided black and white page costs 7 cents. Quotas will be restarted at the beginning of a semester. The data for each semester will enable us to fine-tune the quota system for the following semester. Procedures are being worked out to allow student organizations to print for their organization purposes without deducting from a student’s quota. The Papercut system went live on September 7. Answers to some frequently asked questions appear below. Printing from your own personal computer Windows Instructions Can be done in one of two ways: "Lite" printing through the Web – https://printx:9192. Use this to print Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF documents. See Web Print Using PaperCut for details.

Frequently Asked Questions What are the quotas for the first semester? Seniors - $70 (approximately 2000/sides/semester) Juniors - $50 Sophomores - $45 First year students - $30 (approximately 850/sides/semester) What are the printing costs that will be deducted from the print quotas? Black and white printing will cost 5 cents for single-sided printing Black and white printing will cost 7 cents for 2-sided duplex printing (a discount of 30%) Color printing will cost .20/side. How can I get a refund when I experience a printing problem? If there is a problem with your printout (e.g., paper jam, low print quality) you can request a refund by logging into your Papercut account details page, and using the Request Refund option for the print job that failed. Once submitted, the system triggers an e-mail that will alert us that a refund has been requested to which we can approve or deny. What if I go over quota? To assist you in managing your Papercut quota, you will receive a low balance notification when your balance reaches $5.00. You are also allowed an overdraft limit of $2.00. Once you reach the overdraft limit you will have to add to your quota in order to print. The quota is based on data collected in the Spring 2010 semester and from peer institutions and should be sufficient for all printing supporting the academic program. It takes into consideration all varieties of courses. Quotas will be restarted between semesters. The data for each semester will enable us to fine tune the quota system for the following semester. Individuals who go beyond their quota can add credit from their Hill Card by logging into their Papercut account details page. How can I print for my student organization? Student organizations approved through the Office of Student Activities will be allowed to print for their organization only (no personal use) using their organization's account. When will the quota system go live? The quota system went live on Tuesday, September 7, 2010 at 8 a.m. Background History In 2008-2009, the faculty Committee on Information Technology recommended that we investigate systems for managing printing on campus to help reduce perceived paper waste (save trees), reduce Hamilton’s carbon footprint and reduce energy consumption. A task force was set up including faculty, representatives of the library, ITS and students to evaluate alternatives. In the summer of 2009 Papercut™ was selected and a pilot use of the product was conducted during the spring 2010 semester in all the ITS computer labs. The purpose was to gather data on usage and to test out the user interface. At the same time we surveyed our peer institutions about the quota systems they used. We set the initial quotas based on the 90th percentile of usage in spring 2010. That is, 90% o the students in each class year would be able to do all the printing without exceeding the quota. This was the methodology used by most of our peers and it turns out that Hamilton’s quotas are higher than those of our peers. Most academic departments also asked us to restrict access to their department printers to only faculty and staff in the departments. This was also implemented using Papercut.

  • Printing at Hamilton College Printing Printing from your own personal computer Windows Instructions Macintosh Instructions Frequently Asked Questions Background History PaperCut™ Print Management, Fall 2010 In the fall 2010, Hamilton implemented a system called Papercut™ for managing laser printing on campus. This builds on a pilot project done last year (see below for the three year history of this project that was initiated by the faculty Committee on Information Technology). The ultimate goal of this project is to save institutional resources (by reducing Hamilton’s carbon footprint, saving trees and reducing energy consumption) without adversely affecting the academic program. Using Papercut, students are assigned a quota limit for free printing ranging from approximately 850/sides/semester for first year students to 2000/sides/semester for seniors. For the fall 2010 we will be trying out all the elements of the system. Students will not be charged if they go over their quota. At the end of the semester we will study the data for students who exceed their quotas to determine if adjustments need to be made based on their academic programs. The system should be fully operational for the start of spring 2011 semester. Students will be alerted when they approach their quota and will be allowed an overdraft of $2.00 before having to add additional money to their account. Individuals who go beyond their quota will obtain a “top-up” card at the circulation desk in the Burke Library (at no cost during this semester). The cost of printing has been adjusted so that a two-sided black and white page costs 7 cents. Quotas will be restarted at the beginning of a semester. The data for each semester will enable us to fine-tune the quota system for the following semester. Procedures are being worked out to allow student organizations to print for their organization purposes without deducting from a student’s quota. The Papercut system went live on September 7. Answers to some frequently asked questions appear below. Printing from your own personal computer Windows Instructions Can be done in one of two ways: "Lite" printing through the Web – https://printx:9192. Use this to print Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF documents. See Web Print Using PaperCut for details.

Frequently Asked Questions What are the quotas for the first semester? Seniors - $70 (approximately 2000/sides/semester) Juniors - $50 Sophomores - $45 First year students - $30 (approximately 850/sides/semester) What are the printing costs that will be deducted from the print quotas? Black and white printing will cost 5 cents for single-sided printing Black and white printing will cost 7 cents for 2-sided duplex printing (a discount of 30%) Color printing will cost .20/side. How can I get a refund when I experience a printing problem? If there is a problem with your printout (e.g., paper jam, low print quality) you can request a refund by logging into your Papercut account details page, and using the Request Refund option for the print job that failed. Once submitted, the system triggers an e-mail that will alert us that a refund has been requested to which we can approve or deny. What if I go over quota? To assist you in managing your Papercut quota, you will receive a low balance notification when your balance reaches $5.00. You are also allowed an overdraft limit of $2.00. Once you reach the overdraft limit you will have to add to your quota in order to print. The quota is based on data collected in the Spring 2010 semester and from peer institutions and should be sufficient for all printing supporting the academic program. It takes into consideration all varieties of courses. Quotas will be restarted between semesters. The data for each semester will enable us to fine tune the quota system for the following semester. Individuals who go beyond their quota can add credit from their Hill Card by logging into their Papercut account details page. How can I print for my student organization? Student organizations approved through the Office of Student Activities will be allowed to print for their organization only (no personal use) using their organization's account. When will the quota system go live? The quota system went live on Tuesday, September 7, 2010 at 8 a.m. Background History In 2008-2009, the faculty Committee on Information Technology recommended that we investigate systems for managing printing on campus to help reduce perceived paper waste (save trees), reduce Hamilton’s carbon footprint and reduce energy consumption. A task force was set up including faculty, representatives of the library, ITS and students to evaluate alternatives. In the summer of 2009 Papercut™ was selected and a pilot use of the product was conducted during the spring 2010 semester in all the ITS computer labs. The purpose was to gather data on usage and to test out the user interface. At the same time we surveyed our peer institutions about the quota systems they used. We set the initial quotas based on the 90th percentile of usage in spring 2010. That is, 90% o the students in each class year would be able to do all the printing without exceeding the quota. This was the methodology used by most of our peers and it turns out that Hamilton’s quotas are higher than those of our peers. Most academic departments also asked us to restrict access to their department printers to only faculty and staff in the departments. This was also implemented using Papercut.
