Are you printing from your own laptop or from one of our desktop computers?

Print from your laptop to a UI Print Station

1. Connect to the Eduroam wifi network (if you aren’t already connected. If you are having trouble connecting, check out ITS's guide on how to connect to eduroam).
2. Go to https://printing.its.uiowa.edu .
   (Or search Google for uiowa papercut)
3. Login to PaperCut with your HawkID/password.

4. Click Web Print in the left column.
5. Click Submit a Job button and follow the prompts:
   • Choose BW (black/white) or COLOR printer (labeled ITC-BW or ITC-COLOR)

6. Upload your document .
   (click and drag or click the “Upload from computer” button to search for your document)
7. Click the Upload and Complete button – You will see a link that says “Held in queue”
8. 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*

2. Open the print dialog from the program you are using (click print).
3. Choose the black & white or the color printer.

6. 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.)

Visitors of the UI Libraries may use the wireless network, UI-Guest, or may request a Guest Pass to log onto desktop computers in order to print. Visitors must purchase a PrintKey (sold at the Food-for-Thought Cafe in Main Library) in order to print. Directions for using the PrintKey are found here: https://its.uiowa.edu/support/article/2455.
