If printing from a personal device please follow these Web Print instructions.
The simplest way to print is by logging using your MPTC login to a library desktop computer.
When your document is ready to print, choose print from the menu and then the library printer will be the default printer option. There will be a second confirmation box verifying the printing cost to your account. After clicking on “print” the print job will automatically print from the library printer/copier machine.
Students can add money to their PaperCut printing accounts when the balance is low. Check your balance by locating the little green P on the task bar or at myprint.morainepark.edu/user.
If paying by credit or debit card, students can login to their account using their MPTC login credentials at myprint.morainepark.edu/user. Then just select “add credit” to add funds to your papercut printing account.
Students can also add money at any campus library circulation desk with exact cash.
The Macs in the library have Adobe Creative Software. There is a Wacom screen connected to the Macs as well. This is for Graphic Design programs that allow students to draw with a stylus and use other tools.
There are computers with AutoCad software like Solidworks and Revit for students in the Mechanical Design and Architectural Design Technology as well as other Trades and Manufacturing programs. Ask your librarians about which computers have the program you are looking for!
