Introduction
In some circumstances on campus, it might be important for faculty, staff, or students to have the ability to "charge" print jobs to specific cost centers. Perhaps you share a printer with another department and you want to make sure that all printing is being reflected correctly, or perhaps you have student employees who print for you but you don't want them to deduct their work print jobs from their academic print jobs. In these cases, you can request to have someone added or assigned to a cost center in PaperCut. Once done, when that person goes to print from their computer, they'll get an additional question that will ask what account code (also known at Bowdoin as a "cost center") to charge the print job to, if any. Once printed, costs are not deducted from someone's individual account but are rather charged and reported to the project.
Environment
This request is for either adding or removing a person/people from a cost center in PaperCut only, or to add/change/remove a cost center from PaperCut. Only faculty and staff may request charging or changing a cost center in PaperCut.
Please note: Cost Center Codes in PaperCut are not tied to any other system. Any "charging" done is reported on by Information Technology for debiting from campus cost centers periodically.
Service Promise
One received and evaluated, a response to this request will take place in 2-3 business days.
