PawPrint for Employees

PawPrint for Employees is now available on your Davidson-owned computer. When on-campus and connected to Eduroam, you'll see PawPrint in your printer list. If you used PawPrint in the past and still see FacStaff_PawPrinters listed, go ahead and delete it from the list.  This article will walk you through how to print and release documents, copy and scan using PawPrint.   

Do I need to download anything on my college-owned device to start using PawPrint?

How do I print?
Print your document(s) as you normally would and select PawPrint Employee from the list.  Depending on your device, you may need to select a dropdown to view the complete list of available printers. If you are printing from GSuite (Docs, Sheets, etc.), select “see more” to view a complete list of available printers.

There are multiple printers on my list. Which should I choose? 
Choose the Employee options that best meet your printing, scanning, and copying needs.

1. PawPrint Employee
   Meets basic printing needs for employees. Documents will print B/W only and two-sided by default. We recommend setting this as your default printer on your computer. To set a default printer, right-click and choose “set as default”.
2. PawPrint Employee Advanced Canon 
   Color printing and advanced features including stapling and 3-hole punch
   
3. PawPrint Employee Advanced HP 
   Some HP printers on campus are monochrome only, but some offer color printing and advanced features including stapling

Note: Mac users will be prompted to authenticate when using each print queue for the first time.  Check the box to save to the keychain to limit this prompt.
