Granting Printing Access

OVERVIEW

This article is for administrators who need to set up printing for non-SFU staff/faculty or for those in departments. This also provides information on the different billing options available. 

ADDING SFU AND NON-SFU STAFF/FACULTY VIA MAIL LIST

All users on the "sfu-faculty-staff" and "sfu-sessional-sponsored" maillists have access to SFU Print devices. If there are users who require access but are not on this maillist (ie. grad students, lightweight accounts, etc.), access can be granted through a departmental print access maillist. 

Steps to granting SFU Print access:

  1. Create a departmental maillist at maillist.sfu.ca for SFU Print access only (members should not receive or send emails via this list). The name of the maillist must be in the following format: <abbreviated campus name>-mps-<abbreviated department name>-access
  2. For example: "bby-mps-geog-access"
  3. Once the mailist is active, email papercut-senior-admins@sfu.ca the name of the maillist and the PaperCut administrators will synchronize it with the Active Directory group called "MPS Special Accounts."
  4. Add users to the newly created maillist to grant them access to SFU Print.
