Computing and Printing
Computing
The computer room contains around 10 docking stations and is located in the Foundress building basement. These docking stations allow users to connect their laptops to a full-size screen, keyboard, and mouse to make working more comfortable. You will be able to connect to the equipment with your own laptop by using a USB hub which will be located near the keyboard. In addition, the other half of the computer room will be clear of equipment so that the space can be used as a quiet workspace area.
In addition to the docking stations in the Foundress computer room, there are also a couple of computers in the Library as well as one in the Porter’s Lodge for light use.
Printing
The Foundress computer room contains two MCS photocopiers. These photocopiers are able to print in A4 and A3, colour or mono, as well as scanning and copying. Printing is achieved by printing to the Pem_Findme print queue from either the MCS computer in the Foundress computer room or by connecting to the print queue from your personal devices. Instruction for how to set up printing from your device can be found here. Once a print job has been submitted to the Pem_Findme print queue, you need to release the print job at the photocopiers by logging on to them and confirming the job. Full instructions can be found at the photocopiers. You will only be charged for the printing released at a printer. Print jobs sent to the Pem_Findme queue will be held there for a limited time before they expire. Print charges can be found here.
Starting from the 29th of March 2023, Pembroke College will be changing the way printing is charged to what is known around the University as the 'common balance'. This means you will need to top up credit for printing in Pembroke via the University's portal (https://www.ds.cam.ac.uk/mydsprint) ahead of printing, instead of being charged as part of your college bill at the end of each term.
