January 2015 News - new, easier Google Cloud Printing and change in color printing

Some public printing highlights:

Send jobs to Community, release them at the multi-funcion printers in the libraries (Clapp, Science, Art, Music) or in the Wang Campus Center.
You can scan documents to email without it affecting your PaperCut allotment of points.
You can print, copy and scan to email in the Wang Campus Center.
Non-Wellesley guests (visiting scholars, summer programs, etc.) can copy and print for a fee using PaperCut on our community printers.

Black and white printing is free (without a limit) for all students for the Spring 2015 semester; there is a fee for color printing, now handled at the Clapp and Science Library service desks. Faculty and staff printing outside of these locations remains unchanged.
