It's easy once you know how!
First, are you printing from your own laptop or from one of ours?
Print from your laptop to a UI Print Station
- Connect to the Eduroam wifi network (if you aren’t already connected).
- Go to https://printing.its.uiowa.edu .
(You can search a search engine for “Papercut” or “Printing” and “UIowa” to find this URL if you forget it.)
- Login to PaperCut with your HawkID/password.
- Click Web Print in the left column.
- Click Submit a Job button and follow the prompts:
- Choose BW (black/white) or COLOR printer (labeled ITC-BW or ITC-COLOR)
- Select the number of copies you need
- Upload your document .
(click and drag or click the “Upload from computer” button to search for your document)
- Click the Upload and Complete button – You will see a link that says “Held in queue”
- Walk to a Print Station and enter your HawkID (just the first part…not @uiowa.edu) to release the print job.
Print from a library computer*
- Open your document on any computer in the library.
- Open the print dialog from the program you are using (click print).
- Choose the black & white or the color printer.
- Choose the options in the dialog box you want. For instance, you might want single-sided printing.
- Print.
- Walk to a Print Station and enter your HawkID (just the first part…not @uiowa.edu) to release the print job.
*(This is the preferred method of printing when the online PaperCut system is in heavy use.)
