  1. Go to: https://printatcu.com/
  2. In the first pull-down menu, select the building location where you would like to print.
  3. In the second pull-down menu, select a specific printer in the above building. Printer numbers correspond to the building floor numbers (i.e. 303 is on the third floor). Note: Green squares next to the printer indicate that the printer is functioning normally, while you should avoid printing on a yellow or red printer that is experiencing a paper jam or is otherwise offline.
  4. Press the "Choose Files" button and upload your chosen document(s). Note: You are not able to print .jpg files.
  5. Select whether or not you would like your files to be collated, double-sided, and enter your desired number of copies.
  6. Press print.
  7. Note the pseudonym assigned to your job by Print@CU. Your pseudonym will be a fictional or historical name like Hilary Clinton or Johnny Appleseed.
  8. Go to your chosen printer, and locate your job in the queue. It will be one of entries furthest down the list.
  9. Select your entry, delete the pseudonym in the name space, and input your UNI and password.
  10. Press print.
