Introduction to your printing account
Your printing account is a declining balance system that can be used to not only pay for printing but can also be used to purchase goods and services from the Media Service rooms in Hayes and Crosby.
New students' printing accounts are typically automatically created when the first print is sent to any network printer. Returning students' accounts remain active as long as the student continues to be registered in the School of Architecture and Planning.
Each student receives an initial balance of $25 each semester. Additional money can be added to a print account through a campus cash transaction ONLY. Unfortunately, we can not accept favors, cash, credit cards, or money orders.
Remaining balances on accounts will remain if the initial $25 was already spent and additional money added to the account.
Accounts which have a negative balance at the end of the semester, will have a check stop applied to the student account prohibiting any further transactions on campus. A student with a check stop on their account can not register for classes, and can not graduate.
No refunds are granted due to graduation or departure from the department.
Any further questions can be directed to Doug McCallum.

Special Billing Codes
Special Billing Codes are to be used by faculty, staff, departments, and research centers as a means of tracking costs associated with a project, studio, or research center.
Changing Billing Codes
- Log into the Printer accounting server: http://www.ap.buffalo.edu/printing
- Under Change Billing Code: Click on the down arrow. All Special Billing Codes to which you have access will be listed. Select the desired billing code and click on the CHANGE button..
- To turn off the Special Billing Code: Login to the Printer Accounting Server, Click on the down arrow. Select "My personal account" and click on the CHANGE button..
It is very important to remember to deactivate the special billing code since a user is fully responsible for anything either carelessly or maliciously printing against a Special Billing Code. Special Billing Code administrators are provided a complete activity report for each billing code to check for any printing abuses.
