Technology Services Printing, Print History
Your print history is available online through the PaperCut user portal.
Job History
Your job history shows what you printed, where you printed from, which printer was used, and how it was charged. The first step is to log in to PaperCut at https://papercut.ics.illinois.edu/ and select "Recent Print Jobs".
This will show you the most recent two weeks of history. To see a different range of dates, click the "Filter on" button.
The filter gives you many options, but the most important is "Between dates". If you are interested in jobs that might be on a Student Account on-line statement, it is helpful to choose a starting date two months previous to the current date. You should leave the other filter fields blank.
After you've set the "Between dates" to a an appropriate range, click "Apply Filter".
You should now see all jobs you printed between the dates you selected.
More details about the job, such as what workstation it was printed from, are available if you hover over the "ATTRIBS." column.
If your job was canceled or denied, then you can hover over that status and PaperCut will popup the reason why that action was taken.
