Printing - Pay for Print from a Personal Device

Step-by-step instructions for submitting a print job from a personal device using the UWL Web Print portal, and releasing it at a campus release station or from your device.

Need to print from your laptop, phone, or tablet? Follow these steps to submit a print job using Web Print and pick it up at any campus release station.

Releasing Your Print Job

Once your job is submitted, you need to release it to a printer. There are two ways to do this:

Option 1 (Recommended): Use a release station on campus. Visit any campus release station, swipe your student ID or enter your NetID and password, and select your job to print it. This is the best option to make sure your document prints correctly and doesn't get lost.

Option 2: Release from your personal device. If you prefer to release the job from your phone or laptop, make sure you are standing near the printer first. Then follow these steps:

  1. In the Web Print portal, click the Held in a Queue link under the Status column.
