Printing at Sask Polytech

Multi-function printers - with print, copy and scan functions - are available in all Saskatchewan Polytechnic libraries and other prominent locations throughout campus. Through this print service, students and employees can send print jobs to a virtual queue until they are ready to authenticate on a multi-function printer to release and print documents.  

You can print when:

  • Signed into a Sask Polytech computer
  • Logged into myWorkspace (Sask Polytech login required),
  • By sending a file attachment to myprint@saskpolytech.ca with your Sask Polytech email address. Accepted formats include: PDF, JPG, PNGS, and Microsoft Office documents.

Print options include:

  • Black and white: secure_bw
  • Colour: secure_colour 

When on campus, locate a multi-function printer and sign-in with your username and password or use your print fob to release your print job. Print fobs are available for a small fee at any Sask Polytech bookstore.  

Student printing and photocopying costs are:

  • $0.10 per page for black and white
  • $0.25 per page for colour

Save paper, save money

Here are tips to printing that save money, time and the environment:

  • Use the print preview function to check that there are no unnecessary pages at the end of your document.
  • When possible reduce your font size and page margins before you print.
  • Use the black and white setting for jobs that do not require colour. Colour printing costs more. 
  • Print double-sided whenever possible. 
  • If you are printing PowerPoint slides or notes, change the setting to print multiple slides per page. 
  • If you submit a print job you don’t need, don’t print it! Delete it from your print queue, or don’t release that job with the other jobs in your queue.
  • Scan the document instead of printing and send out a link to share.
