There are two methods available for students to use when printing from their personal laptop devices:
PaperCut Mobility Print (recommended)
The first option students may use is downloading the PaperCut Mobility Print* plugin and following the setup instructions provided on the page. The two-step process will connect your laptop to the appropriate printer. Once it the print job has been sent, users may log into any of the student printing kiosks in the library using their PirateID and Passphrase to release their print job by selecting the "Print" option for that print job in their print queue.
