Printing From Marywood Devices

Marywood University utilizes a system for printing known as Paper Cut that allows you to print to any campus-owned printer. When printing you will select, FollowMEonPapercut as the desired printing device. You can then print at any printer by scanning your ID card at the designated location on the device. There is a one-time set up process that you will need to complete upon scanning your ID for the very first time. It involves your MarywoodYou credentials. 

Printing from Personal Devices

Students can print to the same printers that they access from the labs from the comfort of their own device if they are logged onto Marywood Wifi. Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Android, and iOS are all supported. Simply visit this Papercut Mobility Print link and follow the instructions for your device to get download and run MobilityPrint.  So now not only can you pick up your print jobs at any student print location on campus, but can also print from your personal device! 

Printing FAQs

Here are some common FAQs about Papercut and printing in general just to ensure a sticky-free printing experience (paper jams... jams are sticky... it was a stretch I know!)
I have funds on my account but my print request is denied. 
  • To ensure you are able to print you will need to purchase Pacer Points through the “GET Funds” website. Pacer points are a more versatile tender and are not tied to the purchase of a meal plan. They can be used for other things around campus such as food, drinks, or items in the book store.   You may already have money in your account tied to your meal plan. This money is known as “Dining Dollars” and is specific to food purchases on campus. These dining dollars cannot be used to pay for printing  
  • You can purchase or manage your Pacer Points through the GET funds webpage. You will need to login with your MarywoodYOU Credentials. You can purchase or manage your Pacer Points through the GET funds app, available in the Google Play store or the Apple App Store, by visiting the Cashier’s Office located on the terrace level of the Liberal Arts Center with cash, check, or credit card. Pacer Points can be refunded by the Cashier’s Office if you have a balance upon graduation. 
How can I track what I have been printing?
  • Students can check their usage, balance, and transaction history by logging into the PaperCut portal with their MarywoodYOU credentials.
How much does it cost to print?
  • Color prints and copies are 30¢ per page or 52¢ for double sided. Black and White prints and copies are 10¢ per page or 16¢ for double sided. There is no cost associated with scanning.  
How can I print from a computer lab PC?

If you have printed to a multifunction copier you can release the job by logging into PaperCut on the copier screen by using your MarywoodYOU credentials or your Marywood ID card.

If one is present, simply tap your Marywood ID card on the reader to release the jobs. If none is present, the print will automatically be released and start printing.

  • First, make sure you have enough Pacer Points to cover your print job, or you will not be able to print.  Select “Print” from the application you are running. Select the printer you want to print to from the drop-down box. 
  • MU Student Follow Me should be selected if you are printing to a multifunction copier. You can release print jobs sent to this queue from any student accessible copier on campus. Other printers, such as color laser printers and plotters, should be selected by their PS#. Make sure you are selecting the correct printer, as we will not issue refunds for prints sent to the wrong device.
