Printing FAQ's

What is the print management system at DU?


A print management system is implemented across campus using PaperCut. Faculty, staff, students and guests are able to print to public printers from workstations or personal devices. Once your job has been submitted, you are able to release that job from any of the swipe-enabled printers that support the desired format (color/grayscale). There are several ways to submit a job for printing:

How much do I receive in printing funds?


At the start of each semester, all students are allocated $25 in technology printing funds. Following the add/drop deadline, students enrolled full-time receive an additional $25 in printing funds for that semester.

Each $25 credit covers approximately 325 single-sided pages of printing through Technology Fee-supported services. Please note that while personal printing credits roll over from semester to semester, technology printing funds do not carry over from Fall to Spring.

Faculty are encouraged to be mindful of printing volumes required for their courses and to consider electronic distribution of materials via Canvas whenever possible.

Faculty and staff should charge printing costs to their respective department or office accounts. If you need to be added to a department printing account, then please click here
