Printer Kiosks

There are times when having access to a printer can be a challenge. To address this, UIT provides two campus printer kiosks for students who are on-the-go and need to quickly print a document from their laptop or a remote desktop computer.

Locations

The printer kiosks are located:

Payment

Printer kiosks accept the Cougar Card as the only payment method. Cost per printed page is $0.02.
UH students receive a print quota of $7.50 per semester. Any amount that exceeds this quota will be billed to the student's Cougar Card account.

Required Printer Drivers

To use the kiosks, students must install the folllowing printer drivers:

Download drivers for 32-bit Windows 7, Vista and XP

Downloads drivers for 64-bit Windows 7, Vista and XP

Download drivers for Mac OS (one driver for both kiosk locations)
Click on your desired driver in the list above. In the dialog box that appears, click Run to start the installation. If a security-warning box appears, click Run. When Package UIT Printer Kiosk Client Installer appears, click Install. After the installation, click Finish.
 
To view the kiosk printer you have installed, select Start -> Settings -> Printers and Faxes.

Select Print from the File menu of your document. In the Print dialog box that appears, select Technology Commons or the GCSW kiosk. Click OK.
