Printer locations
FindMe printers can be found by selecting FindMe printers (under Libraries and computer workrooms) on the interactiveUC Map.
Printing is changing soon
The University is moving to a new printing system.
FollowYou printing will be replaced by FindMe printing on the 24th - 29th of June.
The good news is that it works the same as FollowYou printing but you will need to set up the new printers on your device and re-register your swipe card.
Information for Students
Overview
Students can print to most printers on campus by using FindMe printing or can visit UC print for more specific requirements.
Students and staff can print to one of two FindMe printers, FindMe-BW and FindMe-Colour. The printing can then be released at any PaperCut connected Printer by waving a registered card over the card reader or entering your University UserID and password and releasing the job to the printer.
You can find instructions on installing the printers on your personal device, registering a card to log in to FindMe printers, checking your printing history, and topping up your account below.
