Mobile Printing

You can easily print from mobile devices, such as laptops or phones, using PaperCut Mobility Print and Mobile Release. The Email to Print service ends October 1, 2022.

How do I print on campus from any mobile device?
Use PaperCut Mobility Print to print from mobile devices. It can be downloaded on Chromebooks, iPads, iPhones, Macs, Windows, and Android devices. 

With PaperCut Mobility Print you can print Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PDFs, PowerPoint slides, and images. You can change your print settings to print single-sided or double-sided (duplex)

1. Download the PaperCut Mobility Print app here:  https://printers.itap.purdue.edu:9164/setup
2. Follow the steps to run the Mobility Print installer which will install the itap-printing (black and white) and itap-colorprinting (color) print queues.  When asked to authenticate, use your Purdue career account username and password, not BoilerKey. Then print as you would normally would.  It's that easy!
3. If you need any assistance, please visit one of our ITaP help desks at HIKS or WALC during staffed hours:  ITaP Help Desk Hours

How long does a job stay in the release queue? 
A job is purged from the release queue after 4 hours if it has not been printed.
