Lack of BG1 Card Funds When Trying to Print
Students must have funds available in the BG Bucks account of their BG1 Card in order to print. Review the BG1 Card Office's documentation on Depositing/Loading BG Bucks for more information.
Students can login to their PaperCut account using their BGSU credentials at papercut.bgsu.edu and view their PaperCut balance and BG1 Bucks balance (users must be on campus to access their PaperCut account).
Please Note: Refunds issued for printing errors will be refunded to the students PaperCut account and can only be used for future print jobs. This has no impact on the BG1 Bucks balance.
If you are trying to print but your BG1 Card indicates a lack of funds, check your BG1 Card balance and add funds if necessary. You can view your printing funds through BG1 Card Services. If, after checking your balance and you confirm you have sufficient funds and you are still unable to print, please contact BG1 Card Services for assistance.
Please note: New/replacement BG1 cards may take up to one hour to activate and if a user freezes their card through MyBGSU, it will read as "no card".
