Features

The MPrint service is an enterprise printer service with many options for managing and printing to network printers. Highlights:

• Easy to use MPrint website to locate and install printers you have access to near you.
• Ability to restrict access to printing through new or existing MCommunity groups that we can help configure to match your department's needs.
• Printers can be excluded entirely at the department’s or owner's discretion if shared use is not desired. Examples: faculty office, lab, instrumentation, poster, and special media.
• Tracking usage by UMID, as this is an authenticated service.
• Xerox and Konica Multifunction devices can be outfitted with an MCard and MPrint Mobile App Bluetooth readers at no charge to the department. MCard/Mobile Apps readers enabled secure printing to devices, follow-me-printing, and usage tracking if desired.
• Queue release that will prevent sensitive documents from sitting unattended.
• Guest access cards can be made available.
• Web-based printing from any device.

Note: It is up to each department for which of these services features are turned on or off. Please contact the LSA TS Service Desk for specific printer questions.

LSA TS has fully transitioned to the MPrint service. If you have questions about printing, please contact the LSA TS Service Desk, and a service representative will be glad to assist.

Where can the service be used?

How to Print?

Several methods are available to use depending on if your computer is managed by LSA TS, is personal, or if your computer is printing to a networked or locally connected printer.

LSA TS Managed Windows and Mac Computers

Locally Connected Printers

To connect to a printer using a local connection, i.e. USB, simply connect your computer to the printer and make sure it is turned on. Your computer should automatically configure your machine to use the printer. If you are prompted for admin credentials or encounter an error, please contact the LSA Technology Services Service Desk to ask for assistance.

Network Connected Printers

All LSA IT managed machines come pre-loaded to work with our MPrint service which include the PaperCut Client. Depending on your department, departmental shared printers are likely already installed on your machines. Available network printers can also be located and installed using the MPrint Website. See the "MPrint: Locate and Install a Printer" webpage for instructions.

Personal Computers

Locally Connected Printers

To connect to a printer using a local connection, i.e. USB, simply connect your computer to the printer and make sure it is turned on. Your computer should automatically configure your machine to use the printer.
