Printer locations
FindMe printers can be found by selecting FindMe printers (under Libraries and computer workrooms) on the interactive UC Map.
FollowYou printers have been replaced by FindMe
The University has moved to the PaperCut printing system.
FollowYou printing has been replaced by FindMe printing.
The FindMe printers work the same as FollowYou printing but you will need to set up the new printers on your device and re-register your swipe card.
Install the Print Deploy app to manage the FindMe printers.
The new PaperCut portal will show your current print jobs, your printing history and has a link to the TopUp portal.
If you cannot print from your own device then you can use one of the provided computers in the Library or a workroom to print your documents. Save the document in your OneDrive or mail it to yourself to make it available.
Information for Students
Overview
Students can print to most printers on campus by using FindMe printing or can visit UC print for more specific requirements.
Students and staff can print to one of two FindMe printers, FindMe-BW and FindMe-Colour. The printing can then be released at any PaperCut connected Printer by waving a registered card over the card reader or entering your University UserID and password and releasing the job to the printer.
You can find instructions on installing the printers on your personal device, registering a card to log in to FindMe printers, checking your printing history, and topping up your account below.

Doctoral printing allowance
All enrolled doctoral students will be credited a $30 allowance for printing from 1 February. Doctoral students who start after this date will receive the $30 allowance within the first month of study at UC. If you have not received this allowance within the first month, please contact the Service desk here to arrange for the allowance to be added.
Any allowance left at the end of your study with UC will not be refunded.
Where the nature of the research undertaken requires significant printing over and above personal usage, this should be identified and discussed with the supervisor of your doctoral programme.
