The printing service provides geographically distributed, multi-function printing/scanning/copying (Ricoh) devices and support for those devices across the UWB campus. This is a contract service via Managed Print Services at UW Seattle. For UWB print management policy, please visit this link.

Requesting a Printer

UWB is moving away from individual printers, however you can request a printing assessment by contacting the UWB IT Helpdesk at uwbit@uw.edu or 425-352-3456. An assessment will take into account multiple factors including: ADA compliance, proximity, sustainability (environmental and financial), and location.

Ricoh Printers BIlling

Fiscal and Audit Services (FAS) bills all campus units/departments for User Codes used for printing/copying on all Ricoh printers. Departments/Units are billed following month once the current month closes. For billing questions, please email at uwbfisc@uw.edu.

Requesting a (Printing) User Code

User Codes are required to print to any contract printer and are issued and maintained by FAS. Check with your school or department to obtain a user code.

New, additional, or a request to remove User Codes can be requested by completing this form and sending it to Fiscal and Audit Services at uwbfisc@uw.edu. Budget authority is required to make this request.

Non-UWB IT Purchased Printers

Non-contract printers (and print queues) will no longer be authorized or supported by the campus due to support and maintenance costs; existing non-contract printers will be phased out. Faculty and staff are expected to use the more economical multi-function printer/scanners/copiers that are located across campus. Any exception to this policy must be approved by the CIO and Facilities.
