How do I print?*

1. On Library computers, select File and Print in whichever application you are printing from. Select the printer appropriate for your print job. You MUST provide a UW NetID or specific owner name in the "Print Job Details" dialog. (You will enter this NetID or name at the Release station to see your print jobs!)
2. Do NOT print MS Office documents (Excel spreadsheets, Word Docs, etc.) or PDF's from any web browser!  Open the file in the appropriate application and print from there.  (Web browsers may cause format issues that prevent the pages from printing.)
3. If you want to print from your own laptop, you can use the MobilePrint feature (UW NetID required), or go to https://finance.uw.edu/c2/printing-copying/dawg-prints-printer-locations and type "Bothell" in the keywords box.  Install the driver for your Operating System, and print as above. (For issues with driver installs, see the Troubleshooting page)
4. Go to the appropriate Print Release Station (Color Printing only available in the Library, so prints submitted to the Color Printer will only show up on the Color Printer Release Station).
5. Type in your UW NetID or the owner name you used when you submitted the job.  Then, when prompted, swipe your Husky Card or a Dawg Prints Card for payment.  Only your print job(s) will be listed in the queue associated with the specific UW NetID or name you entered. (Print jobs expire after 24 hours)
6. Select your print job, and verify the correct number of pages and the correct amount being charged!
7. Click the Print button. Collect your printed pages and verify that you only have the pages you printed!
8. Select the Logoff button to keep others from using the money on your card account!

How do I make a photocopy?

1. There are no photocopiers in the Campus Library for public or student use.  See the Scanners tab for more information.
2. Staff and Faculty with their own accounting code may be able to use the Managed Print Services Copier in the Library Administration Suite.
