Both your print funds and your documents are connected to your myLoneStar account. You need to activate your account by sending a document to the printer queue or by logging in and out on the print station computers. You will not be able to add money to your account before it's activated.
There is an "add value station" located by the printers. Do NOT create a guest print card, as this will only work with guest log-ins.

Upload document you would like to print
Select Document and on the bottom right of the screen you have Print Options to print in color, print double sided, page range, and how many copies of the document you need
Go to the PRINT room and log in with the credentials that were used to log in to the computer
Once logged in you will see your balance and the print jobs that were sent
Select print Job and click print (Click Ctrl+Select each print job to print all at once)
Guest users who sign in to the computers using one of the GST-#### passes provided by the front desk will have to create a print card at the Add Value Station, located next to the copy machine. Print cards cost $0.50, which will be automatically deducted from your first payment, but they are reusable, reloadable, and never expire.
You must do this before telling your document to print!
Simply open your document and look for the print command (probably through the File > Print menu, or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+P). The printer name should be UP BW or UP Color. Make any changes to the number of copies you need, etc., and then hit 'Print.'
You will need to enter the number from your print card in order to link your funds to your document and guest log-in. Though your guest log-in will expire, your print card will not and can be associated with different guest passes in the future.
