CoC Academic Printing
The College of Computing utilizes the OIT Pharos printing system for its academic labs located on the first floor of the College of Computing Building (CCB). The Pharos printing system is a pay for print service which allows students to print from lab machines and their personal laptops to retrieve their documents at a cost of $.04 per page, payable using a BuzzCard. There are three printers located for student use, two outside States Lab (CCB 103) and one in the Thin Client Lab (CCB 130).

CoC Office and Research Lab Printing
Click here to see the CoC Printing Architecture.The CoC network provides access to over 100 printers located in the
CCB, KACB and TSRB buildings. Each printer is accessible to Windows,
Unix and Mac OS X clients. We use a Windows Server 2003 print server
for Windows clients, and a CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) server
for Unix and Mac OS X clients. An active CoC account username and password is required to print
to the CoC print servers. You must be authorized to print to CoC office and research lab printers as access is restricted.

Be a Responsible Print Steward
We are not currently using print quotas but expect you to be conservative with your printing.
- Print duplex whenever you can!
- Do not use printers for multiple copies. Please request a photo-copier allocation and use the photocopier if you need multiple copies of documents.
- Use screen previewers rather than throwing large draft documents at the printers.
- Use the high-capacity printers in the OIT PRISM environment (e.g. central_ps) when you find you really must print truly huge documents.
- General use printers have bins which are labeled alphabetically. If your printout is preceded by others, please place them in the appropriate bin based on the username printed on the banner sheet.
- If you find that a printer is running low on toner or paper, or having other problems, please notify helpdesk@cc.
- Avoid printing to color printers unless color printouts are needed.
It costs the College between 3 and 4 cents per page for paper, toner, and other printer supplies (most of this cost is toner) for monochrome printers. Color printers cost an additional 10 cents per page. Do help to keep our costs down.
