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.
