PawPrints Installation

Instead of installing over 120 campus printers on your computer, PawPrints uses four virtual "campus queues" that are linked to all PawPrints printers. When you're ready to print, choose any of the four PawPrints queues and then use your mobile device (or computer browser) to choose the destination printer. Our Mobile Release will store your jobs for 24 hours, so you can submit your jobs now and pick them up on any printer at your convenience throughout the day.

Users must install PawPrints before first use. Installation includes:

1. All 4 PawPrints queues:
   • PawPrints_1sided
   • PawPrints_2sided
   • PawPrintsColor_1sided
   • PawPrintsColor_2sided
2. The PawPrints app for account details, print job authentication for personal computers, and easy access to release page, print history, and refunds.

To install PawPrints on your computer follow the instructions below for your operating system. Remember: You can only access PawPrints printers through the PawPrints app on a Baylor network. The four PawPrints print queues will work throughout your Baylor career. If you need assistance with installing PawPrints, visit our HelpDesk+ FAQ or come to HelpDesk+ on the Garden Level of Moody Memorial Library, call (254) 710-4357, or email helpdesk@baylor.edu.
