Purpose

vPrint allows you to print from a computer lab, laptop, or mobile device to a  Find-Me Printer anywhere on campus.

Access

Access to this service is automatically granted to UTRGV Students, Faculty, and Staff.

Use any of the following vPrint features to print documents from anywhere on campus to your wireless  Find-Me Printer of choice.

Print at Computer Lab 

Use a printer located in a computer lab. You will be prompted to log in to your PaperCut account (using your UTRGV credentials) to print near the computer lab. You can print to a Find-Me Printer directly from a lab computer by selecting the Find-Me Printer option in the printer list.

Mobility Printing

Mobility Printing is a vPrint feature that allows you to print from personal devices such as a laptop, tablet, or smartphone using the  Mobility Print app to any  Find-Me Printer on campus. This feature is supported on all popular platforms, such as iOS, Android, Chrome OS, Windows, and macOS.

Find-Me Printers

Learn  how to use Mobility Print and release pending jobs at a Find-Me Printer.

Locate Find-Me Printer using visual maps.

Find-Me Printers are located at multiple locations and provide secure and flexible printing services. The following are key features:

  • Print from a computer lab or use the  Mobility Print app to print from your laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
  • Security, all personal and confidential information is not printed until you are in front of a printer and release the pending print job.
  • Flexibility, you can print at multiple locations and avoid waiting in line for your printouts.
  • Print credits are only used when a page is printed by a machine.
  • Print jobs are held for 4 hours until deleted, so there is no loss of print credits.

Methods to release a print job:

  • Scanning a printer's QR Code with your smartphone's QR reader app, Snapchat, or Camera on iOS 11.
    • NOTE: Make sure that your applications have been updated to the latest version.
  • Swiping your UTRGV ID Card in the Card Reader (Konica Printers Only)
  • Logging in to Konica Printer using PaperCut Client login page with your UTRGV credentials.
    • NOTE: Most printers on campus print in black and white only with the exception of Konica printers. All can print double-sided.

vPrint: Web Print

Using the Web Print Service is not recommended. Your printouts may be taken by mistake by someone else, causing you to lose print credits. Printers may have other jobs in the queue that will take priority, leaving you with a longer wait time. If the printer jams, Web Print will not refund you the credits after the job has been released. Use Mobility Print feature and/or print to a  Find-Me Printer instead.

Copy and Scan Services 

Copy or Scan documents using your vPrint account. Free scan-to-email service is also available from a vPrint university copy machine.
