Color: 40¢ per side (two-sided is 80¢)

Each term, students start with a $10 printing credit (from student fees).

Additional funds can be added to your Lundquist printing account using Duck Bucks. To make a Duck Bucks deposit, go to https://emu.uoregon.edu/duck-bucks/make-a-deposit

Lundquist printing is only available from Lundquist Technology Services managed computers, which includes Lundquist virtual desktops. Printing from personally owned devices is available through our virtual desktop solution at view.uoregon.edu.

Make sure you know which printer your print job has been sent. On lab computers and virtual desktops, printers are assigned at startup to prevent all the print jobs from going to the same printer.

Helpful Tips

Save often
Lab computers do not store information. If an outage or computer were to occur, any information not saved would be permanently lost.
Save to the Network Home Drive ("M" drive)
The network home drive is accessible wherever you have a connection to the campus network for you to save your work. Files saved on this drive are backed up regularly. View instructions for mapping the network home drive and accessing it remotely.
Remember to log off your lab computer
When using the computer lab it is important to always log off when finished. If you remain logged on, someone else could have access to your network drives and printing account. For faculty and staff it is important to log off regularly so that important security updates can be installed.
Install the UO VPN Client
Installing and using the UO VPN Client will give you access to university resources such as your network home drive ("M" drive for faculty and staff, "S" drive for students), library resources, and other internal university services, that are only available when connected to the university network.
Connect wirelessly
With your DuckID you have access to the universities wireless network. A wireless connection allows you to access university resources just about anywhere on campus. https://service.uoregon.edu/TDClient/KB/ArticleDet?ID=31052

Namesake

Miles and Eleanor McKay

In 1979, Miles E. and Eleanor McKay donated the first computers to the Lundquist College of Business, anticipating how technology would transform the business world and ensuring that our students would be ahead of the curve. In 2008, their son J. Douglas McKay established a $1 million endowment to honor his parents and provide for continual upgrades to the college’s computer labs as technology advances.

Miles was a graduate of Eugene High School and the University of Oregon, eventually founding McKay’s Market in 1939 and growing the grocery chain to sixteen stores before he sold them in 1959. McKay then devoted his energies to McKay Investment Company, a partnership consisting of Miles, Eleanor, and their children Linda and Doug. McKay Investments became a successful developer of commercial property, partnering to build and lease stores to Bi-Mart Corporation and owning and evolving Oakway Mall on the former family farm site where Miles’s father lived.
