New desktop tool to show your printing costs

On 25 February, IS&T will give you a way to check on your printing costs by deploying the PaperCut Balance client. The PaperCut icon, when clicked, will show you the cost of your printing since April 2012. It will only be visible if you open it from the hidden icons area of your taskbar on the bottom right hand side of your desktop.

Why are we doing this?
The cost of your printing is charged to your department and this tool will help you keep an eye on how much you’re printing. We hope that it will encourage all staff to reflect on their printing habits.  So, before you hit the print button, please think carefully: Is this the most environmentally-friendly and cost-effective way of sharing your documents? And, as an institution, do we really need hard copies of everything we print?
