Scheduled: Papercut upgrade
Monday, August 3, 7AM to 8AM is a scheduled information system outage for Papercut in order to perform a necessary upgrade. Papercut will be unavailable during this time, which will result in an outage of all network printing, copying, and scanning on the Harrisonburg campus. Lancaster campus will be unaffected.
If you have difficulty printing after the upgrade, please reboot your computer to trigger a restart of your Papercut client software.
