titleProject Overview

As announced in March, we are preparing to replace all managed printers/copiers throughout the SON. This only applies to managed devices labeled with names that begin with “SON-MP” not personal printers some people may still have. Below are a few bullets detailing what you can expect.

  • Departments and sponsored projects will no longer be charged for printing/copying on managed devices. Some people may have noticed that these charges had not been hitting your budgets since we returned from Covid. We have decided to continue with this approach and absorb these costs into the IT budget. Please be aware that printing and copying will still be monitored and this policy may be reconsidered if we see a significant increase in printing levels.

  • The no fees for printing has been extended to PhD students and Post Docs

  • New devices will all be color capable, but default to black and white.

  • New devices will be significantly faster than most current devices (60-65 pages/min).

  • We will be adding a printer/copier near the elevators on the 4th floor.

  • Device replacements will be staggered over the next 3-5 months due to our space limitations and HP’s ability to deliver them as scheduled.

  • We will coordinate with departments and functional areas as replacements arrive.

  • Additional updates and instructions will be posted here as the project progresses.
