We've tried to make PawPrints as easy for you to use as possible. Once you install the PawPrints print queues on your device, then all you need to do is:
- Open your file and print to a PawPrints printer. Choose the PawPrints 1-sided or 2-sided, B&W or Color based on the printer in the printer list on your device. Note: You will select the printer destination later in the printing process.
- Now, release your print job by clicking the "Release a Print Job" button above or using the PawPrints app on your mobile device.
- Locate the PawPrints printer where you plan for your print job to appear.
- Find the name of that particular printer, which should appear on a PawPrints label either on or near the printer.
- Select that printer either on your browser or on your mobile device.
Note: if you use a mobile device to release your print job, be sure to lock the screen on your laptop/desktop while you step away to release and collect your print job. - Click the button to release the print job to the printer.
- Your job should begin printing immediately. If others are also using the printer, your job may be in a queue but will appear shortly.
Please keep the following in mind as you use the PawPrints network:
- You only need to install the PawPrints printer queues once.
- You must be running the PawPrints app.
- You must be connected to the Baylor wired or AirBear network.
- The PawPrints system will hold your print job for up to 24 hours.
