New changes to Library printing

The Library Printing system has undergone some major changes highlighted below:

  • No more print cards!
    Library print cards will no longer be used going forward. Over the past three months, we have been slowly removing swipe card functionality from our print system.
  • New print release station 
    The new print release station is directly opposite the old swipe station. You can now release your print job with your UT Southwestern username and password. When UT Southwestern Information Resources disables someone’s UTSW account, the print account will also be disabled. (Note: The old release station will remain available for another few weeks for card holders to use up their balances and only reflect account cards issued in the last six months.)
  • Adding funds?
    You may add funds via the cash box to your print account that is now connected to the new print station. The process is the same as it was with the old station.
    Users can also call 214-648-2626 to add money to their account with a credit card.
  • Secure printing
    Users can now only see their own print jobs when they log into either the new release station or PrintCenter, which is the website used to release print jobs.
  • No more print job passwords!
    When you submit a print job, you will no longer be asked to provide a print job password along with the print job name. Your UT Southwestern username and password will now be used. Upon logging in, select the print job, and select the print button to release your job to the printer.
  • Need a print account?
    Currently, this is a manual process while our staff finalizes the automation process. If you require a new account, please send an email to Charles.Robinson@utsouthwestern.edu. Charles reviews all system transactions daily and adds anyone that has attempted to use the system but received an account error.
