sioprint.ucsd.edu hosts shared printing for different departments at Scripps. A username and password is required for printing. All print jobs are logged for accounting purposes. Scripps printing services are restricted to the campus network. Computers must be connected to UCSD-PROTECTED, campus ethernet, or the UC San Diego VPN to use this service. List of supported printers and locations.

* There are two names for each printer. One name is for black and white/duplex printing; the other name (PrinterName_color) is for color printing. They both print to the same printer. We ask that you set the default printer to black and white, and print color as necessary. Printer supplies usage is monitored and reported. We reserve the right to set quotas on high usage users.
