| The new MyPrint changes are here! See below for more information. |
This past intercession, IS&T implemented some exciting new enhancements to BU’s MyPrint service. MyPrint is easier to use, with more options, and best of all… it is more sustainable!
- MyPrint printers now have self-release functionality. Send your print job, go to your printer of choice, and swipe your Terrier Card. Your document will print immediately.
- Self-release means we can eliminate cover sheets!
- Self-release also means less wasted print. Never again will a print job be accidentally sent to a location, never to be picked up.
- Self-release means the MyPrint service will be able to offer greater availability and accessibility. The only limitations around when and where you can print will be your access to and the hours the building is open.
- Less hassle; more options.
- Instead of a print queue on your computer for every printer, there will only be two: color or black & white. Choose the queue for the type of job you need.
- Alternately, you can use the new web upload feature and forgo adding any print queues to your computer at all. This is also a great option for if you are on a computer that is not your own; it works on any device.
- We have done an analysis and added some additional MyPrint printer locations. There will still be a primary hub at Mugar Library, and all of your favorite locations will still have a MyPrint printer.
- Color printing will now be available at several locations. Color printing will not be part of your quota and you will be charged Convenience Points for printing in color.
If you installed MyPrint printers before January 8, 2017, you’ll need to remove those printers and add our new ones. Please see our Configure Printer page to learn how.
