Print Smart: MCPrintAnywhere

The Printing Modernization Project aims to improve printing services across our college while reducing environmental impact. This includes upgrading and reconfiguring printers to provide a more efficient, user-friendly experience. Experience convenient access from anywhere, on any device.

• Mobility Print available at more printers
• Wireless printing from nearly any device
• Streamlining with fewer new, but more capable printers
• Allow easy scanning to OneDrive or Madison College email
• Release print jobs from almost any printer on campus

Contribute to improved security and reduction in technical debt at the College.

Print to one queue called MCPrintAnywhere, locate any PrintSmart Printer with the following banner or poster to release your print jobs. Release the job at any PrintSmart Printer by typing credentials or swiping your OneCard.

This makes printing more flexible, saves time, and reduces mistakes, since you can cancel or release your print job wherever is most convenient.

As we finalize our plans we will be communicating periodically with updates on timeline. Please plan to continue checking your College email to ensure you are up to date. The Libraries and Student Achievement Centers are already set up to use MCPrintAnywhere, so stop by to test it out.

• Phase 0: Completed in Libraries and Student Achievement Centers
• Phase 1: Regional campuses (Spring 2025) -- Fort Atkinson, Portage, Reedsburg, Watertown & Employee Printers in A1000 and Student Affairs D Block Area
• Phase 2: Student Printers at Madison Campuses (tentatively Summer - Fall 2025)-- Commercial Avenue, Goodman South, Truax (including Health Education and Public Safety buildings)
• Phase 3: Employee printers at Madison Campuses (tentatively Fall 2025 - Spring 2026) -- Commercial Avenue, Goodman South, Truax (including Health Education and Public Saftey buildings)

All printers, across all campuses, will be evaluated for upgrade or consolidation. Managers in each area will be consulted prior to upgrade and consolidation. All upgraded printers will be replaced or reconfigured to support the new modern printing methodology. Exceptions include specialty use printers like check printers, 3D printers, plotters, etc. which will be excluded from this project.

The goal of these efforts is to reduce the College’s deployed printer fleet by 50% (remove at least 2 printers for every 1 new printer deployed).

Having a OneCard makes it very convenient to release print jobs and is recommended. However, if you forget or do not have a OneCard you can release print jobs by typing in your Madison College username and password instead of using a OneCard.

All MCPrintAnywhere printers support printing in color and grayscale.

Students: keep in mind that color printing is more costly at $0.50 per page vs. $0.05 per page for grayscale. Verify your settings before releasing your print job so you are charged accordingly. Refunds for misprints, jams, etc. are generally not offered as the cost is built into the allotment that students receive each semester.

Employees: Use duplicating services for larger or specialized print jobs.

See the guide page on printing as a guest.

PaperCut is a software application that monitors student and employee printing across campus. PaperCut has been installed as a part of Madison College's Print Smart campaign to reduce wasteful paper and toner consumption, which has a negative impact on both the environment and expenses. The print management program will encourage users to "think before they print."
