Payprint Printing System
The Payprint system is designed to allow Budget Managers to control the amount of printing credits
their staff/postgraduates use. A unique print user account is automatically generated when a user
prints their first print job to a Payprint printer. €10 worth of print credit is automatically assigned to
the account. To top-up your account you have to request a transfer of funds from your budget
manager or purchase print credits in the Print Room (E1-005). A budget manager for a department
can distribute print credit to individuals within their department. Printing costs 4c per black & white
page and 40c per colour page.
