Printing to DS-Print printers from individual machines
It is possible to print to a DS-Print printer from an individual's Windows or Mac machine with our DS-Print service. For example, a student with a Windows or Mac system in their own room, in a College with a UCS Managed Cluster or using the UCS Managed Print Service (DS-Print), can send a print job to a printer in the College computer room (and be charged for it as normal for the College). You need to have a Desktop Services account to use this service and print credit.
The iPrint service is being phased-out and replaced by a similar service using PaperCut. With the exception of Fitzwilliam College and Newnham College (who will continue to use iPrint), users should use the PaperCut service connecting across eduroam or wired college student rooms where network ports permit DS-Print traffic. Please contact your local Computer Officer for further advice regarding your network connection.
Schedule:
October 2011 onwards PaperCut will be available across eduroam wireless network and requested wired college student rooms.
January 2012 onwards PaperCut will be available across eduroam wireless network and all appropriate wired college student rooms.
Easter 2012 onwards iPrint withdrawn.

Please note that the DS-Print iPrint service is being phased-out and replaced by PaperCut. iPrint is therefore offered with very limited support. Wherever possible please use DS-Print PaperCut service.
