K-Staters with eIDs are allowed
$10.00 each semester, plus $5.00 in
the summer, for free laser printing in University
Computing Labs. Printing can either
be single-sided or double-sided (duplex). The cost of printing is
10 cents for the first side and 8
cents for the second side. If you
exceed this amount, you may add
additional funds to your Wildcat
Card at the smart chip recharge station (Cash
to Chip) machines
located in K-State Libraries' Anita Lehner 24-hour
Study Center and at other
campus locations. Money on the chip can also be used in most
campus vending machines.
InfoCommons print jobs display on all print stations, except the 24-Hour Study print station, which adds more flexibility to printing.

Your print job is not actually
printed until you go to the Print Station computer and either enter your eID and password or insert your
Wildcat card into the card reader, and you select your print job from
the queue. Your print job is then printed by the adjoining laser
printer. Print jobs not run within 30 minutes are deleted automatically
from the Printer Station queue and will not deduct the print fee
from your account.
To print to the laser printers from the Hale InfoCommons,
follow the steps below:
- Click File then
click Print
in the application you would like to print from. A box will appear.
The default mode for printing is single sided. To change the default print options, choose
Properties. Click on OK if you are ready to print - if not click on Cancel.
- A box will appear that asks you to name your print job.
Generally, people will use their name but any word that you will remember will work. Click on OK.
- When you are ready to get your documents, go to the Print Station by the laser printer. Type in your userid and password for free printing, or, if you are paying with your Smart or Wildcat Card, insert the card into the reader. The monitor will show a list of print jobs. Highlight your print job(s) and click on Print at the bottom of the screen. Your print job(s) will be printed by the adjoining laser printer.
Don't forget to eject your card when you are finished!
