How to print on campus using your personal laptop and other devices.
Overview
Students, faculty and staff can print from their personal laptop and desktop computers, plus Apple and Android mobile devices to many of the public printers on campus using the print release stations.
Print jobs stay in the print release stations "queue" for one hour after a document is sent to print, during which time the print job can be released using your NDSU ID Card at the print release stations. If the document is not printed within the hour, it is removed from the print release station.
An NDSU wireless connection is required to print wirelessly from a laptop.
Printing from your laptop or other mobile devices uses the PrinterOn service to process and send print jobs to print release station. Follow the instructions below for sending print jobs through PrinterOn from your mobile devices.
