Multiple Ways to Print

 

NOTE: Printers in ED233, Dorm A, and the Graduate Study Room are only open to students who can access those spaces.

 

1. Mobility Print: Install Campus Printers on Device

When connected to the UW-STU wifi network with your iOS, Android, Chrome, Windows, or Mac device, install the printers to your device via this installation invite link: http://webprint.uwest.edu:9163/setup. Follow the instructions on the page for installation and selection of printers. When asked for your username and password, use your 8 digit student ID number and mmddyyyy. If you have enough credits, you will be able to print by selecting a campus printer when you try to print on your device. Please note the location and type of printer in the printer name. You may check your credit balance at http://webprint.uwest.edu (select 'Summary' at the very top).

 

2. Email-to-Print: Print via Email Attachments (by computer, laptop, tablet, or phone)

As long as you can send an email, you can print simple what-you-see-is-what-you-get PDFs/MS Office/picture files (no duplex, PowerPoint handouts layouts, custom range, orientation/paper size change). Compose a new email with your @my.uwest.edu* email (tablet & phone apps) and attach your document(s). Files should be under 10 items--if more, use the other methods below. Send this email to the printer's email:

*If you send via a non-UWest email address, you will receive a reply email with additional instructions to link your printing account to that email. You must be on campus UW-STU wifi. Subsequent printing via this email will no longer require campus wifi.

 

3. WebPrint: Print via File Uploads

You can print simple what-you-see-is-what-you-get PDFs/MS Office/picture files (no duplex, PowerPoint handouts layouts, custom range, orientation/paper size change) by uploading the files to the library's Web Print website http://webprint.uwest.edu (you must be on the campus student wifi network UW-STU).

If you have credits in your account, you will not need to come by the circulation desk to pick up your prints. Your documents will release to the printer immediately.
