Over the next few weeks, ITS will retire any remaining direct print queues to Toshiba Multifunction Printers, meaning all future printing to Toshiba MFPs must be done using the “Release Printers” queue. This change only affects employees printing from College-owned devices.
Standardizing Release-based printing will improve both data security and sustainability. In the 23-24 academic year, almost 11,000 jobs remained unreleased, representing a savings of approximately 110,000 sheets of paper, 340 kg of CO2, and electricity the equivalent of 22,000 bulb hours. In 2022, 12,500 jobs were unreleased, saving 140,000 sheets of paper, 340 kg of CO2, and 27,000 bulb hours.
The “Release Printers” queue is installed by default on all Windows and Apple devices. If you currently do not have “Release Printers” as an option on your device, please submit a WebHelpDesk ticket.
Thank you for your efforts to be good stewards of the Institution’s resources. Please, direct any questions to Katrina Yeung.
