PaperCut (Printing on Campus)

Setting Up Your Device to Print

The following instructions apply to students only. Faculty and staff members should enter an IT Support request - our team will help you set up Papercut on IWU-owned computers.
  • Before you begin, please make sure your device is connected to the IWU network. You will also want to make sure any VPNs are turned off until after the PaperCut installation/connection is complete
  • Visit the website http://spw-printserv.iwu.edu:9163/setup from the device that needs to print. The link will automatically direct you to the correct installation instructions for your device
    • Instructions for other platforms (Android, Mac, Windows, etc.) can be found at the bottom of the page
  • The name of the printer you will add is "secure follow me printing - student"
  • Be sure to enter your NetID (your email address before the "@iwu.edu") and IWU password when prompted for a username and password
    • Apple devices will automatically fill in your computer's username. Please make sure to double check that you have erased this and replaced it with your NetID 
  • Print from your device and choose  secure follow me printing from the printer selection drop-down.

FAQ

  • Students receive a $100 credit to print each semester.  Once a student has roughly $5.00 left, they will receive an email notification to let them know that they are nearing their credit limit. If you deplete your quota, please contact the IT Services Help Desk at it@iwu.edu
  • Black and white printing typically costs $0.04 per page, and color can range from $0.11-$0.20 per page
  • Depending on the page size and whether or not color is being used, students can print between 500-2,500 pages with the $100.00 credit
  • If your ID card does not work in the card reader, or the copier displays another person's name after you swipe, please contact IT Services by emailing it@iwu.edu or by visiting our Help Desk located on the lower level of The Ames Library
