PawPrints
Welcome to the Fall 2024 Semester!
All of the PawPrints quotas have been set for the Fall 2024 term, so your PawPrints balance is accurate as you begin the new academic year.
We have discovered that Windows-based devices that use ARM processors are not able to install the software that enables PawPrints to work on your computer. If you encounter an error while trying to install PawPrints on your Windows device, you may use the PawPrints web print function, which is found at print.baylor.edu. If you encounter installation issues, please contact HelpDesk+ for assistance in person on the main floor of Moody Memorial Library or by phone at (254) 710-4357.

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.
- You may bookmark the default mobile release page, or even a specific printer.
