Printing Your Job

There are a few ways that you can submit and collect your prints.

Print from a computer in a University Computing Site

To print your job from a UD computing site system, follow these steps:

1. After you select the one-sided or two-sided printer through the Print option in your application, enter your username and password in the pop-up dialog box. Then go to the print release station in one of the locations above.  
2. Use your UD ONEcard to log into the release station.
3. Click the Print option next to the job(s) you want to print. Large print jobs may take up to a minute or more to appear in the list.
4. Pick up your job from the printer.

Print from a personal device

To prepare your device to use Papercut, go to http://css-papercut.win.udel.edu:9163/setup and follow the instructions on that page. This page automatically detects your device's OS and displays the appropriate instructions. There are links at the bottom of the page for directions to use with other supported operating systems.

Print from Windows, ChromeOS, or Android devices

Non-Apple devices use the PaperCut Mobility Print app, which must be installed on your device. Part of the app installation process guides you through adding available printers, and stores your credentials for future printing.

• 0-ud1sided (black and white, one-sided prints)
• 0-ud2sided (black and white, two-sided prints)
• 0-ud1sided-color (color, one-sided prints)
• 0-ud2sided-color (color, two-sided prints)

Print from an Apple device

To add these printers on an Apple iOS mobile device, follow these steps:

1. Using an Apple iPhone or iPad, touch the Action icon in the app you wish to print from, then scroll down the list of actions and choose Print.
2. Touch the Printer entry at the top, then scroll down the list of printers, and choose the appropriate printer for your needs: 0-ud1sided, 0-ud2sided, 0-ud1sided-color, or 0-ud2sided-color.
3. Choose your print options (make sure the paper size is set to Letter), and touch Print. Enter your UD username (without the @udel.edu) and password when prompted.

To add these printers on a MacOS laptop, follow these steps:

1. On your Macbook, go to System Preferences and double-click Printers and Scanners.
2. Click the plus sign (+) below the Printers list.
3. When the Add window opens, make sure the Default button is selected at the top, and look for printers called 0-ud1sided, 0-ud2sided, 0-ud1sided-color, or 0-ud2sided-color.
4. Select the desired printer and click the Add button. The printer installs.
5. The first time you print using one of these printers, you will be asked to enter a username and password. This is your UD username and password. If you select the box to save the information in your keychain, you will not need to enter this each time you print.
