Option 2:

Printing to the "Follow_Me_Print" queue. A print job sent to the "Follow_Me_Print" queue can only be released at the three MFP copiers (2 in the Library and 1 at Highlands ACE) located on the Montana Tech and Highlands College campuses. Choose the "Follow_Me_Print" printer from the printers list. Click "Print", and wait for the PaperCut Print Job Notification dialogue box to appear. This dialogue box shows which document will be printed, what printer it will be printed to, and how much the print job will cost.

This option is good for printing off a document when you are not close to a printer. It allows for the printer to basically "hold" your document until you arrive at the printer. 

Cost

In order to print, you will need to have 'Digger Dollars' on your account. This can be done in the Digger Card Center in the Student Union Building or online at diggercash.mtech.edu.
