Printers are a shared resource on this campus, and it is very important that each user does their part to be courteous to fellow users and to conserve paper and toner.
The printers are located in Purdue IT Instructional Computing Labs, libraries, and residence halls.
When using printers located in Purdue IT computer labs, please be mindful of the lab signs and do NOT enter the lab if a class is in session.
Daily schedules are posted on the lab doors showing when the lab is available.

How do we add more money to our print quota?
The president or advisor of the student organization should email the Purdue IT Labs team at itlabs@purdue.edu to request the Student Organizations Request for Additional Print Quota form.
Complete all of the fields in Section 1 of the form, sign via the DocuSign field, and submit for review by the Purdue IT Labs team.
The completed document will then be submitted to the Business Office for Student Organizations (BOSO) for approval/authorization. Once the request is approved, the quota will be adjusted in PaperCut.
How can our department supplement a user's quota?
Complete the form Departmental Request for Additional Print Quota.
You will need a valid Departmental fund number for this quota supplement to be charged against. The tool is for supplementing individuals, not for supplementing groups or classes.
Email completed document to itlabs@purdue.edu for final processing. Once the Department Business Office approves/authorizes the charge, the print quota will be adjusted in PaperCut.
Can student workers get a larger quota?
If a particular department or unit would like to subsidize printing for their student workers, we have the capacity to do so. In some cases, the business unit will have printers that are used for administrative purposes and will not be under the quota system. In this instance, student workers will not be charged when they print.
Can my department add a printer on this system?
There are several strategies outlined to allow departments or colleges to participate in the central quota system. If a department or faculty member has printing needs for TA's, student workers, or specific courses above what the print quota system allows, please contact Purdue IT Learning Spaces.
How can I conserve paper and resources in the Purdue IT labs?
There are many ways to conserve paper and resources in the instructional labs. By being conscious of wasteful and careless printing, less paper, toner and resources may be used.
