Wepa Cloud Printing

UC Riverside provides cloud printing services through Wepa, a print management solution developed specifically for student printing in higher education and university settings. UCR’s Information Technology Solutions (ITS) maintains and manages the platform and they have installed Wepa printing kiosks throughout campus.

Two printers are located on the first floor of Rivera Library and two are on the first floor of Orbach Library.

The UCR Library's four printers will be maintained by ITS staff during their regular business hours, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays.
