MHCC Printer Guide

You will need to print from a school computer as these computers have PaperCut (our student print software). Every student should start with $3 for the term. If you don’t have any money in your account, email Lance Lannigan or Matthew Anderson for help.

  • When printing from a campus computer, you’ll open the file or webpage and choose Print.
  • In the list of printers which appear, choose either Saints-Xerox-B&W or Saints-Xerox-Color. The B&W (Black and White) print is set as the default (.05 for one page or .04 if double-sided). Color print is an option, but costs twice as much (.10 for one page or .08 double-sided). Not all student computers on campus will print in color.
  • A pop-up window will appear on your screen. You’ll need to enter your MHCC ID and your password (usually your six-digit birthdate). Use the same login as for MyMHCC.

  • Then, you still need to walk over to a multi-function printer (MFP) and enter your login information on the printer touchscreen. Press the keyboard icon. On the right side of the area where you type, there is a backspace arrow to correct mistakes. The printer will go into a power-saving mode. just press the screen to wake it up. Many students use the printers in the library or in the computer lab in Room AC1451 on the Gresham Campus.
