Does the institution limit free printing for students in all computer labs and libraries?:
Yes

A brief description of how printing is limited:

Missouri S&T is now using a print management system, PaperCut NG, in campus computer labs (CLCs). Students and instructors will be given a semester printing quota sufficient for completing academic work. This initiative will help conserve paper, toner and electricity and help ensure fair use of campus printing resources.
Print Management System benefits
o More equitable CLC printer use - This system should reduce time spent waiting in line while someone prints out a large print job.
o Environmental impact - This system is designed to reduce paper usage and reduce the amount of used toner cartridges that end up in landfills.
o Fiscally responsible - PaperCut NG should reduce the amount of paper and toner purchased by curtailing unnecessary printing.
