Catprints Frequently Asked Questions

CATPRINTS is a breakthrough in Wireless Printing Technology. CATPRINTS uses “cloud computing” to upload documents and send them via the web to CATPRINTS “touch-screen” kiosks where students can then print their documents.
CATPRINTS is a printing service that was developed to meet the needs of schools and students by providing a user-friendly service and convenience that keeps students from being confined to a lab or library – the typical places that printers are found. CATPRINTS kiosks can be placed anywhere (labs, libraries, dorms, cafeterias, etc.) to print documents and serve the printing needs of students.
A student can upload a document from anywhere that internet service is provided. Then, go to the nearest CATPRINTS kiosk and simply swipe their CatCard, enter NetID, select method of payment, and print their document. Note: There must be an internet connection to upload documents to CATPRINTS.
No, all the machines are pre-configured to use your NetID when your CatCard is swiped, so you won’t have to worry about another username and password.
You can find CATPRINTS printing stations here.
Go to the CATPRINTS page and download the print driver. Follow the instructions to install it on your personal computer or laptop. Once installed, to print a page or document displayed on your computer, simply mouse-click on “file” then “print” and select “CATPRINTS” as your printer. Select your printing options as you normally would. You will be prompted for your University of Arizona NetID. Once you enter your NetID, mouse-click on “Proceed.” Your document(s) will be sent to the CATPRINTS kiosk network and you will receive a six character “release code.” From the CATPRINTS kiosk touch-screen, touch “Enter Release Code” and enter the release code you received. Then select your method of payment and print your documents
No. You could print your documents that way, but if you have more than one print job, the best way would be to login using your CatCard and NetID.

No. Once you use the release code to print your document, it is then purged from our system and cannot be used to print the same document again.
Once you upload the document to CATPRINTS, the document will be held for 24-hours in the cloud. After that, the document will be deleted; however, you can always upload it again.
