How to Print to the Green Print Release Stations

Authors list

SOU uses a pre-paid printing system through Papercut. To use it you can email your print job, submit it through an app, or even remote in through one of our Remote Desktop Connections. This will send a request to the Release stations to print the item you asked for it to print.

Below are some instructions on how to do those things.

 

 

There are four ways you can print to the Release stations.

 

1: From any campus lab computer, when ready to print, select the "Green Print Station" printer:

You can change to single-sided printing, print multiple copies, and print from any application (not just Office documents or PDFs).

Release your job at any of the Green Print Stations.

 

2: You can send an email attachment to: green-print-station@sou.edu or green-print-color-station@sou.edu (Office and PDF documents only!)

Look for a confirmation email from "no-reply@sou.edu" that we've received your print job.

Release your job at any of the Green Print Stations.

 

3: Log into Web Print and submit a job: (Office and PDF documents only!)

  • Open a browser and enter https://printing.sou.edu/ into the URL bar or by finding the App in OKTA and selecting that.

  • When prompted, enter your username and password.

  • Select Web Print and Submit a Job

  • Make your printer selection (Green Print sends to one "queue", which can be reached from ANY/ALL Green Print Stations located on the SOU campus.)

  • Select the number of copies.

Release your job at any of the Green Print Stations.

 

4: Use Remote Desktop to log into virtualLab.sou.edu and use the Green Print Station printer:

Click the Start button on your computer and open Remote Desktop Connection.

Enter virtualLab.sou.edu and click Connect. For additional instructions on connecting to VirtualLab, check out our knowledgebase articles for Windows and Mac.

The computer field is to have the virtuallab.sou.edu filled out first and then if your username is not there, then you can input your username then. At the bottom right of the screen there is from left to right a Connect button and a help button.

Enter your SOU username and password and click Ok.

Release your job at any of the three stations listed above.

After printing it to the Hold Queue, you will need to release your job.

 

Note
  • You may go to any of the Green Print Release Stations to log in and select your job(s) to print.

  • Print jobs sent to the Green Print Release queue will be available to print for 24 hours. After that time the job will be removed from the queue.

Note

This option, just like printing from an on-campus lab, offers the most flexibility. You can change to single-sided printing, print multiple copies, and print from any application (not just Office documents or PDFs). When ready to print, select the Green Print Station printer.
