Printing From Staff Laptops

You are no longer required to manually install the MyPrint app through the Company Portal to access print queues. The print application is installed on all staff devices by default, ensuring that your print queues are automatically available upon login or device restart.
Before you print a document, please consider if you can minimise your printing where possible, which will help to reduce our carbon footprint and minimise paper wastage.

 

MyPrint - Print Queues (on-site only / VPN connection)
 

MyPrint is our standard print service and provides a way to print with the most options. This can only be used when you are connected to the university network, on-site or using the VPN connection. 

 

To download, install and successfully map print queues provided by the MyPrint service, you must be on site and connected to our corporate network either via ethernet (available through our docking stations across all sites) or be connected to managed Eduroam Wi-Fi and have Eduroam WLAN Profile installed.
Eduroam WLAN Profile app available from the Company Portal.

You will not be able to print from normal WI-FI with out the above Eduroam WLAN app being installed on your device.

 

To install, open the Company Portal app and search for Eduroam WLAN Profile and MyPrint, and click "Install".





 

 

 

Email to print

papercut@derby.ac.uk allows you to attach documents to an email, which will be waiting to be collected from any printer at work.

Nothing to install; just open email on any device (computer, tablet, phone), attach a document to the mail, and send to the following email address: papercut@derby.ac.uk.

Email printing is very flexible, but can be slow and even fail if the attachment is too large or has content that is difficult to process. Most documents go through quickly, but if you don’t receive an acknowledgement within a few minutes, there’s likely a problem.

 

NOTE: Prints are only stored for 24 hours before they get deleted, so they must be released before this time.
