It's time to stop printing term papers on the back of old handouts in order to save money.

DawgPrints is a revamped pay-for-print service offered through UW Publications Services through which print jobs can be requested online at www.dawg-prints.com and picked up at one of 65 print stations on campus.

Print stations are located in all libraries and several labs.

The newest printer station opened in Terry Hall Jan 3. Students can print from their dorm rooms to the Terry Hall station, located in Terry T-2 Activities Center.

Formerly known as Uniprint, the program has been operational and growing since 1999. It was sparked by requests from libraries and departments who were losing thousands of dollars providing printing services to students.

According to Publications Services, more than a half-million pages are printed per month each quarter.

Cost for printing is based on size, color and number of sides and only covers the cost — DawgPrints is not for profit. Printing can be paid for at print stations with a UW Quick Card, available at all UW Copy Centers, the HUB cashier's office and several other locations on campus, which are listed on the DawgPrints Web site.

One perk of the program is students can sit in class and send an assignment for the next class to a printer and pick in up on their way, as the new Web site allows printing from personal computers and laptops.

"You can download software from home or your dorm room" said Adam Hall, manager of library operations.

DawgPrints is a convenient option for students who don't have personal printers.

"Students who decide to work outside, underneath the cherry blossoms on a beautiful afternoon, can print conveniently to any location," Hall said. "Instead of having to save your work, upload the saved document onto another computer and wait to print, patrons have quick printing access."

Even students who have access to printers can benefit from the program by downloading the Pay-for-Print driver and using DawgPrints to save ink or get better print quality through other locations, Hall said.

Printing locations have branched out around campus since the program began.

"The new feature allows you to view a map and click on one of our locations and instantly download the software required to print at that location," said Lonnie Eisenbarth, manager of print technologies.

A new feature allows students to choose exactly where, of any print locations, they want to pick up their paper.

"Before there was no way for students to print to locations," Eisenbarth said. "Now, for example, if you are working in Odegaard and decide you want to print a student engineering analysis at the Engineering Hall, you can install the printer with three easy steps. First, you select the location you want to print, install the proper software and print away."
