PaperCut is the name of the print management system that is used/available at UNTHSC.

PaperCut accounts are automatically created for HSC students.  Faculty, staff and department accounts can be created upon request. Once the PaperCut printer driver is installed on their computer HSC affiliates can add funds to their account, and access the following PaperCut functions:

  • print from a computer or mobile device,
  • photocopy, or
  • scan to e-mail.

Each printed page costs $0.05-$0.25 per side. Add print funds using the PaperCut Application.  See the complete cost per side list for more specific information.

It is not recommended to add more than $20 at a time since there are no refunds for leftover print funds.
