PaperCut - Student Printing Services

PaperCut is the account-based cost recovery print management system used in the IT Services student computer labs across all SFU campuses. Student printing is structured to cover the costs of paper, toner, printer leasing and maintenance. All students, faculty and staff with a balance in their ‘cash’ funds can print to the student computer labs.
