How to release your print job

  1. Send your print to the printer.

  2. After your job finishes spooling, release your print using the school's PaperCut web page. Make sure you use Architecture's PaperCut web page (https://arch-print.syr.edu) and not SU's page (https://printing.syr.edu), which look similar except for the logo.

  3. Login with your NetID credentials.
