Student Printing: PaperCut

You can send documents to a Calvin printer from your personal computer with PaperCut.


What kind of files can I print?

File formats allowed

What about web pages and other files?

Web pages and other files must be converted to PDF files (or copied onto another file, as in Word) before being sent to Web Print for printing. If you don't have a PDF file converter you can download CutePDF available at www.ninite.com. It is listed under Documents.

Once you've installed CutePDF, look in your Start > Programs list for the CutePDF folder. The Readme.htm file contains instructions for using CutePDF.

Other Limitations

You are not able to choose specific pages to print in your document. If you would like to print only a few pages of a document, create a new document and copy and paste that information into it.

If you have installed CutePDF, you can highlight the part of the document you want to print and print it to the CutePDF printer and then print the PDF file.
