Winona State uses FollowMePrint (also known as Papercut) for it's campus printing.

What is FollowMePrint?

FollowMePrint is a print solution that users use to print to just ONE print queue, walk to the nearest student printer that’s convenient, swipe their ID card (these are on select printers), scan a QR code or go to a website using their computer and hey-presto! — the print job will find you.

  • Saves on your print quota, as nothing is actually printed until you release the print job.
  • Eliminates frustration of accidentally sending a print project to the wrong printer (wasting paper, causing you delays in retrieving the printed document, losing printed documents, etc.)
  • Improves management of your print account and quota (You can go to: https://paper.winona.edu:9192/user, log in with your StarID and password and discover printing information including print balance and Recent Print Jobs.
  • Decrease paper waste via unnecessary printing. Print jobs will stay in the queue for two hours. After two hours you will need to print the documents again.
