The Print Wisely program uses software called PaperCut to conserve printing resources. Students are allocated 400 pages each semester. The PaperCut software loads when you log on a campus computer and puts an icon displaying the number of pages you have left in the upper right hand corner of the screen. If you do not see that icon and you are unable to print then you may need to log off and then log on again. Please call the Help Desk if you continue to experience problems.

My printer seems to get jammed with paper at least once a week. Does it need to be replaced?
If you’re using an inkjet printer you may want to make sure that the paper is not too thick. Try using a standard non-bonded paper to see if that will eliminate the jams. If the inkjet printer jams regardless of paper thickness, it may need to be replaced. Check with the manufacturer to see if it’s still under warranty. If it is a Goucher-owned inkjet or a laser printer please contact the Help Desk for assistance.
The laserjet printer in my office is printing lines down one side of each page. How can I fix this problem?
First try taking out the toner and gently shaking it from side to side. If that doesn’t resolve the problem insert a new toner to see if that works. If not, then please contact the Help Desk.
I have an inkjet printer that doesn’t seem to be working even after installing new cartridges. How can I fix this problem?
Some inkjet printers require you to replace all empty cartridges before it will work. For instance, if you only replace the black cartridge but the yellow cartridge is low as well, then the printer will not work. Another reason why the printer may not work after a cartridge replacement is that the printer may need to go through a series of head cleaning or printer head alignment. These options can be found in the printer properties
I am unable to access files on Darwin/Magellan. How do I know if it’s just my computer or a system wide problem?
First check to see if anyone else in your dorm room, floor or office is experiencing the same problem. If so, then the problem could be system wide and you can confirm that by either checking the status online by going to our Facebook page. You can also check via phone by dialing 6322 and select option 3.
I am getting intermittent connection to the network in my dorm room. Who do I contact to resolve this problem?
First make sure that you are only connected to the network using an Ethernet cable in your room. If you also have wireless enabled, it may interfere with the wired connection. Disable your wireless connection and see if the problem persists. If you continue to experience problems with your wired connection please contact the Help Desk.
I’ve logged on to my office computer and am able to access the Internet and Outlook but, my network drives are not appearing. What should I do?
Network drives are mapped automatically through a program called Desktop Authority when you log onto your computer. If some or all of your network drives are missing, log off and log back on to see if the drives will appear. Please contact the Help Desk if that does not resolve the problem.
