Summary
FollowMePrint is a print solution that allows users to print to just one print queue. The FollowMePrint service enables you to access printers throughout the entire campus, which are designated for your role (Student=Student Printers, Employee=Employee Printers) to print to.
- Saves on your print quota, as nothing is actually printed until you release the print job.
- Eliminates the frustration of accidentally sending a print project to the wrong printer (wasting paper, causing you delays in retrieving the printed document, losing printed documents, etc.)
- Improves management of your print account and quota.
- Decrease paper waste via unnecessary printing. Print jobs will stay in the queue for two hours. After two hours, you will need to print the documents again.
