The Student Printing Service utilises a diverse range of HP based printer hardware. Some of this hardware is approaching its eigth year of operation. Therefore over the summer vacation period we will be refreshing a number of the printers that are installed across campus.

A modernised print estate will deliver a faster, more capable and reliable print service that will offer a much easier path to intergrate "Pull Print" based solutions in the future.

We will also be looking to add colour and duplex printing to areas of campus that have not previosuly benefited from this capability. This is part of our continued drive for service improvement.

For further details of areas that will be affected by these upgrades please consult the following section of the Printing Service Website.

The Student Printing Service is provided via a combination of two main software technologies.

These are Novell iPrint and Salford software's GPAS chargable printing gateway.

Salford Software intends to release GPAS into the Open Source community and will no longer offer any formal support upon it from the end of July 2011.

Following the announcement from Salford Software that GPAS (our Student Printing software platform) is to enter open support in the near future, IT Services is currently working to find a replacement software and hardware solution for this well established service.

The Network Printing team is pleased to announce the availability of network printing for Apple Mac based systems.

In response to demand from our students through surveys and regular meetings with the Student Union Education Officer and SSLC we are conducting a full feasibility study and pilot in relation to network printing facilities being installed into a number of Student Residence buildings.

The Network Printing Team continues to work to implement the Managed Department Printing Service for all areas within the campus that currently have Ricoh Copiers installed.

For more details of this service and to find out how your department can benefit from this initiative please click here.

In order to enhance the quality of service offered to our customers IT Services have conducted a summer program of upgrades and updates to existing Student/Workarea Print Infrastructure.

These improvements have been based upon customer comments, logged incidents and service requests and well as feed back from the SU and SSLC.

The Network Printing Team is pleased to announce the availability of wireless Network Printing for Staff and Student users across Campus. This service is scheduled to go live on Thursday the 28th October.
