PawPrint for Students

PawPrint has been upgraded for Fall 2020! In order to use it, you will need to download and install the new PawPrint. You can do this when on-campus and connected to Eduroam. This article will walk you through how to print and release documents, copy and scan using PawPrint.   

Do I need to download anything to start using PawPrint?
Yes!  See our PawPrint Installation instructions.

Once you've installed PawPrint, you are ready to print your document(s). Submit a print job as you normally would and select PawPrint from the printer list.  In some programs, 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.

PawPrint Printers
Choose the PawPrint options that best meet your printing, scanning, and copying needs.

• PawPrint
  Meets basic printing needs for students. Documents will print B/W only, and two-sided by default. We recommend setting this as your default printer on your device. To set a default printer, right-click and choose “set as default”.  There is no charge to students for B/W printing.
• PawPrint Student Advanced - Canon 
  Color printing on all Canons, and advanced finishing features including stapling and 3-hole punch.
  Students will be charged $.06 cents per colored side printed, deducted from the declining balance on your CatCard. If you have no declining balance, you will not be able to print in color.
  
• PawPrint Student Advanced - HP
  On HPs that support it, color printing and advanced finishing features including stapling. (Some of the HP printers are monochrome only.)
  Students will be charged $.06 cents per colored side printed, deducted from the declining balance on your CatCard. If you have no declining balance, you will not be able to print in color.
  
• PawPrint Employee (student employees only)
  Student employees should use PawPrint Employee if printing for their department. You'll be prompted to choose the department to charge at the printer. PawPrint Employee is installed on all Davidson owned computers.  If you need to print work-related documents using your personal device, you'll need to add the PawPrint Employee option to your list of printers.  To do this:
