6. How to search for an on-campus printer in my web browser?

When using a web browser, the printers, by default, are not in alpha order; if you click on “Printer Name” the printers will be in order from z-a, if you click “Printer Name” again, the printers will be in order from a-z. When using a web browser the Search entry is case sensitive.

Click the "NDSU Mobile Print" button at the bottom and select either Location or Enterprise to pick a new location from the map or list of GoPrint locations. 

8. How can I print from cloud storage?

To print from OneDrive or Google Drive (excluding Google File Types), the desktop clients for the respective service needs to be installed in order to browse to the file locations on the computer. You will be unable to print your cloud storage files from the browser without downloading the file to the local device.

9. What should I do if I need to order letterhead, envelopes, or business cards? 

Follow NDSU guidelines and order through NDSU Print and Copy Services for instructions on local printing. 

10. What is suggested while performing large printing jobs?

Individuals are encouraged to use the Print Shop for printing more than 100 b&w pages or more than 25 color pages, as the cost per page is least comparing to the printers/copiers provided by the institution.
