As student, staff, or faculty you are able to print in OIT-Managed Printing locations using your personal laptop that is connected to the Twin Cities campus eduroam WiFi network. You can also print from remote locations when you are connected to the University of Minnesota's Virtual Private Network (VPN).
First, either upload your document using Campus Cloud Printing (http://z.umn.edu/cloudprint)
- Login in to Campus Cloud print
- Upload your document
- Swipe your U-Card and release your print job at the printer's location
- Or install the appropriate print drivers for your operating system:
Once the print drivers are installed, anytime you want to print you can send a document and release your print job at the printer location.
- From the open document, select Print.
- When prompted, select OIT-WiFi-BW or OIT-WiFi-Color, depending on your printing needs.
- You will see a popup window. Enter your Internet ID and a short, temporary password.
- This password keeps others from deleting or releasing your print job by mistake.
- The password applies only to the current print job, and you'll need it in order to pick up your print job.
- Go to your chosen location's print release station, located near the printers.
- Swipe your UCard, with the magnetic strip facing out.
- If it says ERROR: LOW BALANCE, that means your UCard has an insufficient amount of Gopher GOLD funds to process your print job.
- Select your print job, and enter the password you created when you sent the print job
- Select Print to receive your print job.
