PaperCut Print & Internet Control

PaperCut Print & Internet Control

PaperCut Print & Internet Control is an application that has been employed by IT Services in an effort to improve and better manage costs associated to our Printing and Internet Services. Since its inception, we are glad to say that the Printing services have been very efficient and students are able to print documents without the hassle of having to wait. The Internet services too have been a major success where we can properly monitor bandwidth usage and resources associated.

Instructions for Users

  1. Purchase your Top-up card from the USP Book Center, Library or Dining Hall. Printing and Internet Top-up cards are sold separately at $2 & $10 each.
  2. Login on any PC in the ITS labs using your username (ID number) and password.
  3. Internet Data Cap per month is 800MB for Undergrad students, 1.2GB for Postgrad students and 2GB PhD students while USP staff will be allocated 3GB.
  4. Top Up cards can be purchased for more internet bandwidth (Data Cap).
  5. There will be no carry over of Internet Data Cap balance that is allocated to you by IT Services, i.e. remaining  balance of 80MB given at the beginning of every month.

It is advisable for students to use up any Internet Bandwidth that you pay for the month. This is due to the fact that any credit existing will only be topped-up by IT Services to the normal quota and not added, when going into the new month.

  1. As your Papercut user web interface appears, login using your username and password. We will use the internet top-up web interface in this instruction (Figure 1.0).
