Print from your Mobile Device

You can print to any campus PrintLess printer from many apps on your mobile device. You must first set up mobile printing. Then, use an app on your device to send a print job to your queue:

1.   Open the app that you would like to print from. This example uses the Microsoft OneDrive app. The print command may appear in a different location when using another app.

    5. If you have trouble, you can request a new code by pressing the refresh button to the right of the code.
