HuskyPrint for Students: Enable Uploading Print Jobs from Mobile Device

Introduction

ITS in the process of implementing a new printing solution for students, Pharos Cloud, which will go live for students in mid-August. Prior to the launch of this new service, students can download the app and log in so they are ready to print in fall semester. 

It is recommended that students upload documents using the HuskyPrint web portal from a computer, however, students can also upload print jobs to their account by printing them to the HuskyPrint Secure print queue if they wish. Documents submitted to the HuskyPrint Secure queue will be accessible via their web portal or app for release at campus printers.
