How do I print and copy as a visitor?

Answer

Our Visitor Printing solution allows visitors to the Library to use many of the same printing services available to staff and students at King's.

Please see our Joining Us pages for information on who is eligible for visitor access to our libraries, and how to apply.


Creating an Account

Visitors to the Library must create an account in Papercut before they can start using the available services. It is important that visitors are aware of the following:

  • All usernames are prefixed with 'g-' (e.g. 'g-johnny95'). When logging into a printer the visitor must type this username with the prefix.
  • The visitor must provide a valid email address and verify it before attempting to access services.
  • Per the university policy, no refunds or transfers of credit are permitted.

Adding Credit

Once a visitor has created an account and verified their email address, credit can be added to the account by logging into Papercut and using a debit or credit card


Available Services

The following services are accessible to a visitor:

  • Copying
  • Web Print
