Computer Clusters

Computing Clusters

ITS supports Computing Clusters (Labs) located on the Omaha and Lincoln UNMC campuses available to students, faculty and staff. A UNMC NetID is required to log in to the computers and files should be stored on flash drives. Some clusters or buildings may require Campus Photo ID card swipe access. Contact the ITS Helpdesk at 402-559-7700 with questions.

Each student is given a 500 page quota per semester.   When students reach the semester printing limit, they may purchase additional pages at .05 per page (100 page minimum purchase).

Print Manager FAQ

Q: Is there a warning regarding the number of pages being printed?
A: There is no warning for the number of pages printed. If you would like to see your current balance, move your mouse over the Print Manager End User Tool in the system tray (lower right hand corner).

Q: Will I be notified when my balance is running low?
A: You will be notified when you have 50 pages left of your quota. You will get a message stating: "Your balance is getting low. Please go to http://app1.unmc.edu/forms/its/printing.cfm and fill out a request to increase your balance."  (Cost is .05 per page; minimum of 100 page purchase)

Q: When the quota limit has been reached, what happens?
A: When you are close to reaching your quota, if the print job you are printing is over your quota, the print job will not complete and you will receive a message stating: "Insufficient balance in account for this job. Print job cancelled. Please go to http://app1.unmc.edu/forms/its/printing.cfm and fill out a request to increase your balance."

Q: How can I see how many pages I have remaining?
A: Move your mouse over the Print Manager End User Tool in the system tray (bottom right hand corner of your screen). A pop‐up will display and show your current balance in dollars and the number of pages you have printed. You may calculate your remaining balance from the dollar amount by using one cent equals one page.

Q: How quickly can I start printing again once my balance is increased?
A: 24 Hours
