Printing/Papercut Issue

What Is It?

This service resolves problems with Lincoln University’s managed printing environment, including PaperCut (e.g., release/queue issues), LU printer queues on Windows/macOS, and multi‑function devices (print/scan/copy). Typical requests include:

  • Can’t see or add a printer / driver install fails
  • Job won’t release / stuck in Held in a queue” / prints garbled or blank
  • “Access denied” / PaperCut sign‑in errors / balance or allocation not applying
  • Device shows offline, paper jam/toner error that persists after clearing/replacing
  • Location changes, wrong default printer, or repeated failures from a specific app/file
Who Is Eligible to Use It?

  • Students, Faculty, and Staff for campus‑managed printers and PaperCut
  • Student employees/Graduate assistants when required for job duties

How Do I Use It?

Submit a ticket using the Request Service button (preferred for non‑urgent issues)

Provide details to speed triage:

  • Your role: Student / Faculty / Staff / Dept. requester
  • Device & OS: Windows/macOS (and LU owned vs personal)
  • Printer/Queue name & location: e.g., Young‑105, building/floor/room; asset tag if known
  • What happened: Exact error text or screenshot, whether all jobs fail or only certain files/apps
  • When it started
  • PaperCut info (if applicable): LU username shown in PaperCut, job history or release message, and whether other printers work

We’ll diagnose driver/queue issues, PaperCut assignment/entitlement, device status, and coordinate with the vendor if service is required.
