The Print Balance Window

After logging into any campus computer, you should see a small Print Smart balance window appear on the top right-hand corner of your desktop.

Resolving Problems

If the popup window does not appear or the icon is missing from your system tray, the print control system may not be active and printing will be denied. Please try restarting your system. If a restart does not resolve the problem, contact the Student Technology Help Desk for assistance.
