An Important Announcement Concerning COVID-19 Precautions

Notice for students: contactless printing has been enabled on labeled student devices. When you swipe your badge ALL documents in your hold queue will release. If you do not wish to print all jobs in your queue either delete before logging in to print or choose a device that is not enabled for contactless printing.

If you are having trouble or need supplies for your printer or copier, as always you should contact the vendor on the front of your device. If they cannot help you, or if your needs are not related to a service or supply issue please e-mail BluePrint@yale.edu and we will assist you as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your patience.

PaperCut Printing Time-Out Extended

In response to the recent change in the workflow patterns across Yale University due to COVID-19, we have extended the printing time-out period in PaperCut to 3 days.

All print jobs that are sent to PaperCut will expire after a 3 day time period is reached. This is only an interim solution until business returns to a more stable schedule across campus and then we will revert back to the 4 hour time-out schedule.

In response to the recent change in the workflow patterns across Yale University due to COVID-19, we have extended the printing time-out period in PaperCut Office Environments to 3 days.

BluePrint_BW and BluePrint_Color global print queues for student printing has been extended from 4 hours to 12 hours for the remainder of this semester.
