College Students... question

[slpaulson]

We get 100 if you're in a CS class, and 300 if you're in engineering.

Otherwise you don't get anything for free from the libraries.

Well, I don't know.. even though I will probably never use up my $40 credit, If i'm paying $21000 a year i should get no limits.

Pff, for the cost of tuition nowadays, I consider *nothing* free :frown:

 

[BrianH1]

free printing at the lie-berry.

 

[DaWhim]

my school is trying to setup a 600 pages per sem. right now, printing is free which is ridiculous.

I can print and copy for free, great thing about working in a library.

 

[RegularK]

It used to be free until people were extremely wasteful with their prints (printing hundreds of pages and then deciding they didn't want them, etc).

Next semester, we'll have $100 (equates to 1000 pages or 667 double sided pages). I think that's for the entire year, but I'm not completely sure.

My college library charges $.10 per page. The copiers on campus do the same thing.

That's why I found my sweet little room for engineers where you can print 5 pages for free. They usually don't notice how much you print though, so when I have to print up 3 copies of my 5 page english paper, it's not a problem

My college currently has no limits, but I expect that to change within the next few semesters. The main reason behind these moves is the way the budgets work. Professors are being increasingly asked to put all their information online. For example, to reduce the printing costs for departments, all professors were not allowed to print out the syllabi for their students (some actually paid for it to be done themselves). The result it that students have to go to the labs or library to print them out. The library has their own budget, and the increase in costs eats into their plans. The labs are also on their own seperate budgets. These budgets are (from what I remember) rather small as they only cover operating costs (employees, paper, etc).

We have to pay for copies and stuff we print. I believe it's all .10, but printing might be .08. At least in the libraries.

Still wastefull... like this week i printed several journal articles for an essay and had to print them one by one, it was like 15 of them. Each time i printed i got a printout telling me how much i used and how much i had left on my quota. Thats 15 pieces of paper that i'm going to throw in the trash.

All free here. They have a login in system where you have to put your login in to print and says you have to pay but they havent implemented that and never will. Sometimes I wish they did tho becuase the lab printers are always out of paper becuase people print so much damn crap. I would be cool with 200 pages a semester

 

[Mayfriday0529]

I just found out what we use.
Pcounter for Netware

 

[imthebadguy]

2400 pages a sem

Excellent product. :thumbsup:

 

[EMPshockwave82]

6 cents per page copies

8 cents per page from the printer

 

[acemcmac]

Free printing ?

Always. Free paper for your home printer too if you have sticky fingers

 

[jacob0401]

No...$.10 per page...

University of Washington...

 

[Justin218]

Printing on the main campus costs 10 cents a page or something. However, on the engineering campus, with an account, you get 60 free pages a week.

 

[MrsBugi]

USC charges $0.15 per page for printing.

It's really outrageous, given the astronomical fees for tuition and everything else as it is.

 

[TitanDiddly]

At the library, it's five cents per page, and they have normal printers. Nobody goes to the library. At the computer labs, it's infinite free printing with faster, better maintained computers.

 

[Blazin Trav]

Nope. I print with my own printer.

 

[Zugzwang152]

General use labs here charge $.07 per page, paper and toner provided. Several departments/colleges within the school offer free printing just to their students though. The College of Business Administration gives me a 250 page limit every semester.

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

Depends on your major / what classes here how much free printing you get.

 

[RedCOMET]

each undergrad at my university gets 900 sheets a semster. All the lab printers do duplex printing ( both sides by defualt). Right now, i have about 29 sheets left. Most, if not all of my print outs were school related. I had 3 classes in which the profs were power point hungry.

 

[jinduy]

uc irvine = no free printing unless you're a grad student or faculty i think
