Printing in the labs

Self-serve black-and-white and colour printing is available in most computer labs and libraries across the UVic campus. Printing services are provided through PaperCut, a print management software.

All you need is a valid NetLink ID and ONECard flex funds to print. You don’t need your physical ONECard to print.

Locations & hours

PaperCut printing is available in all of our general use computer labs. Printing is available any time during computer lab operating hours.

It is also available in the McPherson Library and several other labs on campus.

Colour printing is only available in our labs in the Business & Economics Building (BEC) and Clearihue (CLE).

Printing from your device

You can set up Papercut Mobility on your own devices for quicker printing. PaperCut Mobility allows you to print straight from your own device.

  1. If you're not on the campus network, connect to UVic's Virtual Private Network (VPN).
  2. Go to Mobility Print setup and follow the instructions.
  3. If you're prompted to sign in to your PaperCut account, sign in with your NetLink ID and passphrase.

You can get more information and step-by-step instructions for setting up a device with PaperCut Mobility on the PaperCut support site.

You can add whichever printers you want to use, based on location and type of printing (black-and-white or colour). You can remove printers when you're done with them or re-run the installer to add additional printers at any time.
