Paying for Printing in the SSCC Labs

Note for SSCC Members

The SSCC Labs are no longer accepting cash for printing credit. In order to use the pay-for-print system, GoPrint, you will need a valid UW NetID and money on your WisCard account. To add money to your account or for more information on WisCard, please go to http://wiscard.wisc.edu.

You will be charged a $2.50 processing fee to add to your balance online.You can add money to your WisCard for free at the Memorial Union WisCard Office.

To print using GoPrint, you'll need to choose the correct printer. Your choices are:

Room Printer Name
4218 \\goprint.doit.wisc.edu\SSCC4218
3218 \\goprint.doit.wisc.edu\SSCC3218
2470 \\goprint.doit.wisc.edu\SSCC2470
4218 with PostScript Driver \\goprint.doit.wisc.edu\SSCC4218_PS
3218 with PostScript Driver \\goprint.doit.wisc.edu\SSCC3218_PS
2470 with PostScript Driver \\goprint.doit.wisc.edu\SSCC2470_PS
Choosing a GoPrint printer

Use the PostScript drivers if you're having trouble printing a particular document--usually a complex journal article.

Once you have chosen the correct printer, you’ll be prompted to sign in to GoPrint with your UW NetID and password, then select your print jobs and choose Pay and Print.

Printing costs $.07 per page (i.e. per side of a sheet of paper). If you need to print a single page, set the printer to print it single-sided or you'll be charged for both sides.

Paying for Personal Printing as an SSCC Member

If you are an SSCC member, your printing is paid for by your sponsoring department or agency. This is intended for printing related to University business (i.e. research and instruction, though some departments ask you to avoid using the SSCC printers for instructional printing). If you need to do some printing for personal purposes, you should pay for it using GoPrint as described above. However, you'll need to contact the Help Desk first and ask to be added to the group of SSCC members who have access to GoPrint. Printing for commercial or political purposes is strictly forbidden no matter how it is paid for.
