PaperCut

Description

This School printing solution allows printing on multifunction copiers with your School badge. For more information, please consult the dedicated page on the School's DSI website here.

The PaperCut printer driver and client is installed by default for all new laptops supplied by the laboratory's IT department.

To check if the print client is already installed, just check if the printer named POLYTECHNIQUE appears in your printers. If this is not the case, you must download it from the DSI website here and install it.

Warning

For workstations under Linux Redhat, you have to install the print client available here and for Linux Debian/Ubuntu, install this

When printing, all you have to do is choose this printer and then identify yourself using your School identifiers (only once if you tick Save this password in my keychain).

Tip

It is possible to release your print jobs remotely to any copier from the portal https://impression.polytechnique.fr/. To do this, once identified on this portal, click on the Jobs Pending Release button in the left menu, then click on print in the line indicating the print job, then finally click on the desired copier.

You can start printing from the laboratory's wired network, Eduroam WIFI or via the School's VPN.

You can then go and release your impression on the copiers by badgering in front of the reader or by entering your school identifiers.
