All About Printing

All Port Workspaces members have access to shared copy/scanner/printers available at each location. Once you are setup with printer access, you can use any printer at any location with no additional setup! 

To activate your printer account: 

1. Request Printer Setup through the Member Portal. Instructions for using our "shop" function can be found here. There is a one-time $25 setup fee per person that will be added to your Port Workspaces account on the next billing cycle. This gives you access to PaperCut, a software that allows you to remotely print from your computer. 
2. Within 1 business day of your request, we will email you instructions to setup printing via PaperCut.

How do I select Black & White or Color printing?

This varies per device/software program so it can be a bit tricky. Here are a few tips we've found: 

1. If you are trying to print directly from a browser (Chrome, Safari, etc.) even if you select "Black & White" the system will often automatically still print in color. If you want to print in B&W, download the file first to your computer and then print from there in your normal document viewer selecting "Black & white"

2. For Macs from the traditional print dialogue box:
