How to Print

There are many ways to print on campus. Use the directions in the sections below for your preferred method.

Print From a Campus Computer

Print from a Campus Computer

Students can log into any library or ITS-managed printer and print a document.

Printing Varies by Location

Some academic departments, such as Maxwell and Newhouse, manage their own labs. To access departmental computer labs, contact the respective academic department or visit the school and college support page. Those who have provided details instructions regarding printing at their locations can be found below.

Email to Print

If you are unsure where on campus you'd like to print, the option of emailing your document to be printed later is enabled. While email to print is enabled, it is limited black and white duplex printing only. Be aware that picking any alternative format will have inconsistent results.

To print, simply email your document to print@syr.edu from your @syr.edu email address. Students can then log in at any library or ITS-managed printer to print their document.

ITS Lab and Library Printers Only

Email to print is only available at the library and ITS-managed printers. Guest accounts can utilize email to print using the instructions found on the Library support page.

Once you have sent your email with the document you wish to be printed, log into printing.syr.edu. Your job will populate within 1 minute on the jobs pending release queue.

Wireless Printing

Mobility Print

Mobility Print is the preferred wireless printing method for personal laptops and mobile devices in public locations and labs at Syracuse University.

For instructions, select the operating system you would like to print from in the Mobility Print configuration documentation.

ITS Lab and Library Printers Only

Not all printers on campus are available for Mobility Print including printers in office locations and in school or college managed labs. In these cases, you'll be required to manually configure your device to print at your desired location. Manual configuration is available for macOS and Windows computers. Faculty and staff may also contact their academic or administrative support personnel for additional options.
