Printing in Public Computing Areas - Pharos
Service is for Faculty, Staff and Students
CUMC IT provides one color and 18 black and white high-speed laser jet printers located throughout the campus: the first two floors of the Hammer building and some student housing locations. A printing quota is required to use these printers. Students currently enrolled in a CUMC program receive their quota automatically. The printers are managed by the Pharos printing system; pages are deducted from the quota after logging in to the Pharos system to print.

Service Description
Anyone with a Pharos printing quota may print on these systems, using either nearby public computers or by configuring their own computer to print using Pharos. All but the color printer have double-sided capabilities. The printers are available on a first-come, first-served basis. After sending a print job to a Pharos queue, the job will remain in the Pharos system for 24 hours before expiring.
