During August and September, Information Services will be replacing the campus networked printer/copier fleet with new Canon devices. In addition to the current printer/copier functions (follow-me-printing and secure swipe-to-release, scan to email or USB, faxing in some locations, etc.), all of the new Canon printer/copiers will offer color printing, as well.
The new Canon printer/copiers will use the same PaperCut queues as before (canon_bw_papercut and canon_color_papercut) and will not require printer driver updates on your computer. Likewise, print/copy fees will not change.
Timeline:
- During the week of August 16, the new public student-facing Canon printer/copiers will be installed and ready for students arriving on campus.
- Beginning on September 7, new devices in university offices will be installed on a building-by-building schedule throughout the month. Watch for email with further details about the schedule
We worked with many offices throughout the spring and summer to understand their printing/copying needs, reviewed usage patterns from before COVID, and coordinated with Gordon Flesch Company (GFC) to identify device models for each location that align best with those needs. Ultimately, this right-sizing will expand capabilities (color printing for all!) while simultaneously reducing overall costs for the University.
