Note: WebPrint is no longer recommended. We recommend PaperCut's Mobility Print solution - Click here & choose your device.
Anyone wanting to print to a school network printer from a BYOD device can use the Web Print function. This is available as an alternative method of printing directly from a BYOD or school-owned device. Follow these instructions to print a document file using the Web Print function.

Step-by-step guide

1. Prepare a document file in a format that can be processed by the Web Print function. (See the Additional resources section for a list of supported file types

   
   

2. Ensure the document is stored in a location where the Web Print function can access it. (Apple iOS device users must save the file in a cloud location, like Google Drive or One Drive. Windows users can either save to a local folder, or a cloud location like Google Drive or One Drive.)
