Overview of Pharos Cloud Pilot
A modernized, secure print service, Pharos Cloud, was rolled out for students in August 2025. ITS is also currently piloting this solution with a limited number of departments to gather feedback from early adopting faculty and staff. ITS is planning a broad rollout of Pharos Cloud printing services (not limited to secure print only) for faculty and staff in Fall Semester 2025.
This solution offers secure “follow-me” printing, which can allow users to their print job at any network printer. We anticipate this will enhance convenience for students, faculty and staff, while also supporting future efforts to optimize our aging printer fleet and reduce printing-related costs.
Faculty and Staff Information:
- Once broadly implemented, faculty and staff will be encouraged to use the secure print service, where they can send print jobs to a secure, cloud-based print queue to be released at any HuskyPrint printer using a mobile app (some printers also offer an option to release print jobs using a passcode for those unable to use a mobile phone).
- Departments will also have the option have direct print setup for their printers, which will allow faculty and staff to continue printing directly from their work computer for immediate release at a department printer.
