See User with access to Shared Account for a department receives an "insufficient funds" error when going to release the job at the printer
       • WARNING: The Balance will always say $0.00 for Personal Accounts, since PaperCut is not set up to display balances of printing funds in Transact yet. Your Campus Bucks website should have your balance information, you you want to check it. PaperCut will return an Insuffient Funds error after you click Print, if it does not see funds in Transact when it goes to charge the print job.
