How does Hoof Prints credit work?

Each semester, students are granted a $10 credit to use Hoof Prints. The $10 credit is equivalent to 125 monochrome or 30 color pages per semester for each student.

Does my Hoof Prints credit rollover?

Like the university meal plan, Hoof Prints credit is loaded semi-annually (July 1 and January 1) on students' St. Edwards accounts. Unused balances from the July 1 term transfer into January 1. However, any remaining credits on June 30 expire. The Hoof Prints balance will reset on July 1. Once you have spent this credit, you may continue to print at your own cost.

If I add personal funds to my balance, will they expire if I don't use them by July 1?

No, personal funds will never expire. Only OIT-provided pre-loaded funds expire if not used by July 1.

How much does printing cost?

See our Hoof Prints support article for details about printing prices.

How do I see my Hoof Prints balance?

You can see your balance when you log into wepanow.com or the Wēpa Print mobile app.

If you are logged in and don't see a balance, try logging in using this link:https://wepanow.com/login/stedwards.
Contact OIT if you still don't see your balance after logging in using this link.

I don't have any more Hoof Prints credit. What do I do?

Once you have spent your Hoof Prints credit, you may continue to print at your own cost.

For financial assistance, please submit the Hoof Prints Balance Increase Request Form. This form allows you to request additional funding for Hoof Prints for one (1) academic semester. Please allow 2 - 4 business days for OIT to respond.

  • Note: Only one request per student per semester is allowed.??

How can I add additional funds to my balance?

You can add funds at any kiosk or online. Review Wēpas instructions on depositing funds to your Wēpa account.

Why am I charged a $0.40 fee if I use my credit card to print?

The $0.40 fee is imposed by financial institutions every time you use your credit/debit card to pay for a print job.

You can avoid this fee by using your credit/debit card to load at least $5 into your Wēpa account, then select Wēpa account as your payment method. Depositing funds in at least $5 increments, which can be done at a printing station, wepanow.com or via the Wēpa Print app, will not cause transaction fees.

  • Note: Personal funds loaded onto your account will never expire.

See our How to Pay for Hoof Prints support article for more information about Hoof Prints credit and payment options.

How do I get a refund?

For defective prints, Wēpa offers refunds. To request a refund, email help@wepanow.comand provide the username associated with your Wēpa account and the title of the defective document. Please allow two to three business days for the refund to be processed.

You must request a refund within three business days of the incident. You may also need to send a picture of the defective printed document to process a refund. Sending a picture helps Wēpa identify what may have caused the problem and eliminate fraudulent refund requests.

Does Hoof Prints take Topper Tender?

No, Hoof Prints does not take Topper Tender at this time.

What do I do if I have questions/concerns about my Hoof Prints credit?

Please contact OIT Support with questions or concerns about your Hoof Prints credit.

What are the available printing options?

  • Size: Hoof Prints only offers letter-size printing (8.5 x 11).

How long does my print job stay in my print queue?

How do I use Hoof Prints as a guest?

If you are not a St. Edwards student, you will be considered a guest to Wēpa, and you will have to create a Wēpa account.

  1. On the Wēpa login page, in the "School" drop-down list, select "A Guest User" and click the "Register" tab, which is next to Log in.
  2. Fill out your information and click Submit. You will receive an account creation confirmation email.
  3. Print using one of the printing methods (Mobile app, personal computer, web upload, cloud service, email, or USB drive).
  4. Guest users will not be provided with credit to use Hoof Prints. Instead, you will need to load a balance on your Wēpa account.

How do I report printing problems?

Wēpa, the third-party vendor powering Hoof Prints, offers support from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. CST, Monday-Friday, for troubleshooting and issue resolution.

Contact Wēpa directly for assistance with printing issues, including failed print jobs:

If you encounter issues outside of their business hours, we recommend emailing W?pa support with the print station number (located on the lower left-hand corner of the printer display screen as "KIOSK_PROD_xxxxx") and a description of the issue; they will contact you during business hours.

For more information about using Wēpa kiosks, refer to the Wēpa user guide.

Contact OIT Support if you have questions or concerns about your Hoof Prints credit.

How does Hoof Prints contribute to the university's commitment to sustainability?

Cloud printing offers users the advantage of reviewing their documents before printing and effortlessly monitoring their print queue. Based on data from other universities that have adopted Wēpa, we hypothesize that this new service will encourage responsible paper usage and reduce paper waste.

In addition, Wēpa, the third-party vendor that powers Hoof Prints, is a Print Releaf partner. Consequently, 100% of paper consumption via Hoof Prints will be certifiably reforested.
