Printing to University Printers from Your Own Mac or Macbook

These instructions work if you are printing from your own Mac on campus or in University accomodation. If you are printing from your own home or from private accommodation see the final section below.

To print to university printers  you first need to install the iPrint client software. You can install iPrint using the appropriate link below.

When you have installed iPrint you should shut down all browser windows, including this one. Then restart your web browser and return to this page.
