BNS School Printing Services
Below are descriptions of our current printing services for staff & students. It is NOT POSSIBLE to print from your personal phone, laptop, or tablet.
| Device Location/Type | User type | Printer type/location | Notes |
| Staff laptops | Staff only |
· Copier named School Copiers on 04-sc · Networked Lexmark printer(s) defined for your workspace location (e.g. Library, Counselling). · Rooms located near the computer labs may have the option to print to lab printers, but they are not for secure documents (e.g. student data, tests) unless you make them manual release print jobs that won’t print until you enter the PW into the printer. These are NOT PaperCut enabled. |
· School Copiers linked devices are located in 1026 (copy Room x2), 2009 (office copy room), 2015 (staff room x2), 4011 (4th floor lounge). The Library copier is also linked to this print queue but should be used only for colour printing, not class sets. · If students send you documents to print, only you (the one logged into the computer) can release them from the School Copiers. · If your workspace printer is in a staff-only zone, don’t send students to collect the printing. |
| Computer Lab (desktops) | Students in lab-based courses (during class time only unless teachers decide to supervise the lab during breaks) | · Printer in the same lab | · Check that the printer in the lab has the features you need (e.g. paper size, colour). Not all printers have all options. |
| Library (desktops or laptops) |
Any user—during open hours only. Students must be in a class booked in the library OR bring a note from their classroom teacher. If the library is full, visiting students will be sent back to class without printing. |
· Copier named Student MFDs on 60-sc |
· While you can send printing to this printer without additional steps, you can only release the print job if you have completed your PaperCut Setup · Student MFDs are the copiers in the Library and the 4th floor lounge. |
| School laptops (room-based or carts) | Any user |
· Copier named Student MFDs on 60-sc · May also have the option to print to a nearby printer |
· While you can send printing to the copier without additional steps, you can only release the print job if you have completed your PaperCut Setup · Student MFDs are the copiers in the Library and the 4th floor lounge. |
Staff, please remember that if you are sending students to the Library to print, they MUST have a note from you requesting they print. However, please verify that they have setup their PaperCut account (that they’ve used the copier previously) before sending them. If they haven’t, setup will take instruction and time and they will not be able to ‘quickly print’ as they expect.
