Accessing Pay Printing from your personal Apple device

Students can access BCIT’s Pay Print System from their personal Mac, iPhone, or iPad device. Follow the instructions below to install and then connect to the pay print queues. Once complete, you will be able to send jobs to the Pay Print System and release them just as if you had sent them from a lab computer.

Navigate to http://prt-pay.ad.bcit.ca:9163/client-setup/known-host/macos.html
Click on the Download button.
Open your Downloads folder and find the pc-mobility-print dmg.
Open the dmg and run the PaperCut pkg.
Proceed through the installer, entering administrator username and password of the mac when required.
Once installed you will find all the BCIT PaperCut Printers already in Printers & Scanners in System Settings.
The first time you send a job to the newly added printer, you will be prompted for a username and password. Enter only the prefix for your myBCIT email address (the part before @my.bcit.ca) and your usual BCIT password.
Example: If your myBCIT email address were “asmith948@my.bcit.ca”, you would enter “asmith948” as the username.
Check the box labelled Remember this password in my keychain in order to prevent this message from appearing every time.
