There are 16 shared Black & White, and 4 shared Color Laserjet printers conveniently distributed throughout the Science Center @Smith College. Additionally, there are 6 accessible Toshiba Multifunction Devices (MFDs). All printing devices are equipped with OneCard taps (proximity readers) (MFDs also have c-Pads) and are being managed by PaperCut. The card readers allow us to provide two popular PaperCut features to our entire fleet of shared printing devices: Secure Release and Follow-Me printing.
 
FollowMe Queues:
You can securely print and release your print jobs to any shared hallway printer or Toshiba MFD in the Sciences using the following THREE virtual printer queues:
