Printing

The Campus Print Accounting System (CPAS), managed by USask IT, provides printing, copying and scanning services to USask students, staff and faculty. Although you can find printers and copiers in all library locations, library staff cannot add printing credit to your account or provide technical support.

For printing and scanning help, talk to the staff at the IT Support Desk on the first floor of the Murray Library.

  • Users that have a USask NSID can purchase printing credits online.
  • Anyone can purchase pre-loaded printing cards from the Shop USask vending machine on the first floor of the Murray Library, or from the Shop USask Bookstore locations.
