UPDATE: 4 Jul 2019 - 2:20pm
Our servers have now been rebooted (the reason for failure was due to a Microsoft server issue in the South East). Services are now being restored on the papercut server which controls scanning. For the time being printing is available but scanning is still down.
We will update as soon as scanning is available again
Apologies for any inconvenience caused
Printing, scanning and access to Cloudprint all seem to be working normally.
If you continue to have any issues with printing, please contact the IT Service Desk.
