PRINTING
The College has two high capacity Epson Multi-Function Devices (MFD) located in the Moffatt Room and the Library. The Epson MFDs use a no-heat technology which use far less energy than traditional LaserJet devices. Also the ink is less harmful to the environment than laser toner cartridges.
(NB – Personal printer for your room – You can bring your own printer but be aware that wireless printers will only work when registered with QC-MyRoom. Wireless printers do NOT work with Eduroam. So either register for QC-MyRoom or use a USB cable to connect your printer to your computer. Better still is to use the College photocopiers in the Moffatt room and Library – it actually works out cheaper than a home inkjet printer.
Please send your print jobs as PDF documents via mobile.print@queens.ox.ac.uk
Login to the Moffatt Room computers using your OXFORD SSO (Nexus) credentials and send your document to the printer called SecureEpsonPrint.
Viewing the SecureEpsonPrint Print Queue on the Moffatt Room computer displays the actual Server Print Queue. Your document is ready to print from the photocopier once it is listed in the queue and marked as “Paused – Restarting”. Because you send documents to the Server Print Queue you will see other people’s print jobs on SecureEpsonPrint waiting to be released – this does not affect you or them. You can only print (or delete) your own print jobs.
To login to the photocopier to release your print job just place your University Card on the card reader under the display screen. There is a microchip inside your card which will activate your login and your documents will be shown on the display.
All students receive a free annual printing quota for documents printed on the College photocopiers. Your balance is displayed on the photocopier when you login / print. Any document printed over your quota will be charged to your Batells at the end of Trinity Term.
UNDERGRADUATES – free print quota = £25.00 (equivalent to 500 monochrome pages per academic year renewing at the end of Trinity term)
GRADUATES – free print quota = £50.00 (equivalent to 1,000 monochrome pages per academic year renewing at the end of Trinity term)
- Side note for Graduates and Academics – you have two email addresses which are directed to a single inbox, (College email address AND a Departmental email address). The Mobile.Print@queens.ox.ac.uk printing service is initially configured to use your Queen’s email address only. If your preferred sending address is your department then please let the IT Office know and we can add both addresses to your printing record.
- If you want to change your Preferred Sending email address, then you can by visiting https://register.it.ox.ac.uk/self/nexus and selecting “Preferred email address settings”.

FREE PRINTING QUOTA RESET
Once your free printing quota is depleted then you can continue to print, however, your balance will show a negative figure. At the end of Trinity Term each year, any amount over your quota will be charged to your Batells. If you do any printing over the Summer Vacation on the College MFD then this will be allocated against your next academic year printing quota.
