Printing

The Office of Smith IT manages networked printers in every lab, office hallway and every office suite in Van Munching Hall. 

• MBA and MS students receive 600 pages each semester that may be used in any lab and the Grad Lounge.  A new print system for grad students this Fall.  More info coming soon.
• Faculty and Staff are assigned a printer according to their office location. They may also print to any of the VMH Network printers listed.
• Students hired to work in an office are given rights to those networked office printers by request from the faculty or staff member.  The request may be emailed to helpme@rhsmith.umd.edu by the faculty or staff member.

Anyone without a Smith Novell account may use the campus Pay for Print system in our labs. Graduate Students have a quota of 600 pages/semester.  When that quota is exceeded they must use the campus Pay for Print system.

Whenever you use any shared printer, please remember to be considerate of your peers. 

• Reserve large print jobs (50 pages or more) for less busy times. 
  

• Discard your unwanted pages in the appropriate recycling containers.  
  

• Print jobs not picked up may be picked up by mistake by others or cleared away at any time.

Faculty/Staff Printing - Novell

Please visit our Novell Printing page on how to add printers.

MBA Printing - Note the Fall 2011 changes!

Printing is the most site-specific of all of our technologies. College Park and DC have similar infrastructures, but Baltimore and Shady Grove are very different. Students in Baltimore and Shady Grove should ask their local tech support staff about the best way to use printing at those sites.

• College Park/DC Returning only: The old Novell iPrint printing system was scrapped in favor of one based on Active Directory. This new web-based system provides much better tracking and feedback on your printer usage, encouraging you to use this resource an environmentally responsible manner.
  • The per-semester allocation remains 600 pages. Your remaining page balance will display in a popup on lab computers, or you can check your balance at http://print.rhsmith.umd.edu
  • The old iPrint client will no longer work for printing directly from laptops. Instead, you should submit jobs over the web at http://print.rhsmith.umd.edu to count against your per-semester allocation. You just upload your Office-type document to the website, and our server will print it on your behalf. iPrint (and any other Novell software you might have installed) should be uninstalled.
  • If you exceed your 600 page allocation you have the same options to purchase additional printing as last year – you can use the UMCP's Pharos system, or the WEPA kiosks located around Van Munching Hall.
  • For detailed information about printing, please see this document.

Undergrad Printing - Pay-For-Print or Wepa

Wepa kiosks are available several places in VMH.  They include high quality paper and an option for color copies.  In addition, OIT has provided a Pay-For-Print solution for undergrads to print to campus open lab printers. In VMH these printers are located in 1572 and 3515.  Please visit our Pay-for-Print page for more about using Pay-for-Print.
