Printing at the SPARK is the same as printing throughout the libraries, so the information is applicable to any Library building you are in.
First thing to note is that UNT uses papercut to manage the print system for students. If using a student computer inside the Libraries, the client for papercut is on the workstation and once selecting to print you will be prompted to authenticate with your UNT EUID and password. However, if you are using a mobile or personal device papercut is accessible through the web at https://printing.unt.edu

Below we will go over the steps to 1) submit your print job to a printer queue from both the desktop and the web and 2) how to then release your print job from a station and your personal mobile device.
TIP: Students will only be able to print using the "Charge to my personal account" but staff may have a shared account, if printing for your work ask you supervisor if you are suppose to print from a shared account.
TIPS: PaperCut CANNOT print from the web directly to webprint. You'll need to save web documents to your computer in order to print them.
Please note that this has simply sent the files you wish to print in to a holding queue for the printers. You must also go through the Release a Print Job steps outlined below.
As a part of the Return to Learn efforts at the UNT campuses, we are encouraging the use of the mobile release process. So whenever possible we do encourage you to take advantage of the mobile release process.
There are printers located on the Lower Level, First Floor, Second Floor and Fourth Floor of the Willis Library building. There is one color printer in Willis Library which is located on the first floor and is a multifunctional printer and one in Sycamore Library.
When in Willis Library, each printer has a unique QR code posted on the printer.
In the event that the Mobile Release option will not work for you, we have at least one traditional release station on the first floor of Willis Library and at least one on the second floor of the Willis Library building, and one in Sycamore Library. In a traditional release station, you will find a monitor, keyboard and mouse set up directly next to the printer. Using the keyboard if you type in your EUID and password on the release station, you will be able to release your prints on that printer.
In addition to the traditional release station the Multifunction printer throughout the library (the printers with a scanner on top) which includes the color printer on the first floor, the Multifunctional black and white printer on the 2nd floor, the multifunctional printer on the fourth floor in Willis Library, as well as the color printer in Sycamore Library and a multifunctional printer in Discovery Park Library, has a built in release screen on the printer. On the release screen you will be prompted for your EUID and password to login and then you will see your jobs that are held in the queue and you can then release the prints there.
NOTE: you are not charged for a print until your release it.
Printing is a shared resource at UNT, a campus with a passion for conservation and BEING GREEN! It is important that each user is respectful of the printing resources. It is very important that we all do our part to be courteous to others and conserve time, paper and toner.
Please keep the following in mind when using print services at UNT:
Throughout the Library all locations have printers that allow student to print from the student credit that is in line with the Student Computer Labs.
When printing please use the queues, CampusPrint: UNT-SCL-B&W or CampusPrint UNT-SCL-COLOR
