The printing and plotting costs are charged daily to the user's account.Users with zero or negative print credit are unable to print.
The"credit"command will show your current paper credit status (updated once a day in the morning!).As of now and this for administrative overhead reasons, paper credit can be replenished as follows:
- ULB and VUB students
- can replenish their credit through the payable services form (min EUR 5.00).
