Ok I checked my printing cost for the Civil Engineering computing labs and then I saw around $40 added to the bill and I'm like wtf ...

The story, cut down a little goes as:

I called it quits in a hurry to leave uni and go back home, but forgot to log off.
A friend didn't know it was my account and printed an unknown quantity of paper out and she was told by other friends "That was his account".

Then one day she finally decided to admit to me and said she used my account to print out lots of papers and notes but now offers to let me use her account to print off stuff.

Option 1) hmm, Transfer to Chemical engineering so you can get $30 FREE credit every semester.

Option 2) Kill the biatch (although this means youll have to pay the entire bill by yourself :()

That's a shoddy system if it adds it too a bill. The CSE method is best, you get given like 500+ free pages, if you want more you pay then they give you more. If you try to print and you have none left then it shouldn't let you.

I think that person should somehow reimburse you for their printing.

Back in 2005, when printing in CSE was scarce, I paid $5 to get an extra 100 pages of printing quota just incase I didn't have enough to print my notes.

3 Years Later....

That 100 pages of extra priting quota is still in my account.

Is all depends where you do your FREE printing :)

Wait until the admins re-ghost the systems or install new software, they do it every few months. Sneak in to the lab and print print print! The admin account was unrestricted print and download limit, I downloaded 1GB+ of data for my thesis when they were installing SP3, J Lo was not happy when he caught everyone.

CSE Control Panel or how else tell me plz.
nah..

if say you are printing from adobe acrobat.

in the little text box near the top right type
-Pname.sgl

where name is the name of the printer. this will do it single sided without a watermark. .dup does double sided without watermark.

the thing that really sucks is it appears some fonts from Michaels physics notes don't work.. so it has all these gaps..

I like the 'Make "alternative" arrangements' option :D

But I'd expect you to know all about logging in/out. I never leave my workstation, until I see the login screen.

I've noticed that some engg1811 people can't logout correctly (just some). they log into fluxbox or something, then run vm. they manage to logout of the xp vm, but not fluxbox.

I jsut set the screen saver to come on after 10 mins or so, and to lock the screen. So if i ever forget to log out, the lock screen should kick in.

But I use Windows XP as my default session.
There doesn't seem to be a textbox as you see, but my CSE account expires at the end of this semester anyway because I won't do any CSE course next semester.
