The ONID printing system allows departments on campus to charge students for their printing while recouping their printing expenses. We (SCF) set up the print queue on our servers, track pages printed of each student, bill the user's University Account, and distribute funds back to the department. At this time there is no charge for this services except possibly a technician fee of $25/hour for setup.

How to get your department's printer on the ONID printing system:
Things to consider about the ONID printing system:
- We prefer HP and Xerox laser printers for the ONID printing system. We have not had much luck with other brand's printers giving us an accurate page count.
- We charge per side printed on. Our server counts the number of times a page goes though the fuser, not how many piece of paper.
- Users must connect to the printer with their ONID account.
- The computer that is going to connect to the print queue must have the driver installed on the computer.
Email the following information to scfadmin@lists.oregonstate.edu to set up a printers on the ONID printing system:
