Students have the ability to manage their own printing in the labs using a "Print Release Station" located in each lab beside the laser printer. Students are required to provide their own paper, available for purchase on campus at the Printshop or the TRU Bookstore.
The Print Release Station runs a program called PCounter that manages print jobs. Print jobs over 50 pages or 500MB will be automatically deleted. Please utilize the Printshop for larger print jobs.
