Starting Oct. 5, students, staff, and faculty wanting to print in the K-State InfoCommons and the university computing labs will be required to swipe their Wildcat ID card for both limited free printing and pay-for-print.
Pay-for-print will be moving away from using the smart chip on the Wildcat ID card and will use the magnetic strip on the back, which is attached to student, staff, and faculty Cat Cash accounts. Continue reading “InfoCommons, labs printing to require Wildcat card Oct. 5”

Double-sided printing (duplexing) is now the default in the K-State InfoCommons and university computing labs. During the 2006-2007 academic year, K-Staters printed more than 1.6 million pages (equivalent to 3,200 reams of paper) and since January of 2008 more than 830,000 pages have been printed in the university computing labs and InfoCommons. This change is one small step towards greater sustainability efforts on campus. Read about K-State’s sustainability efforts from http://sustainability.k-state.edu
