Print@CU is a stupidly easy web interface for using Columbia printers. It was created by Sam Aarons in November 2011 after a mere 16 hours of work [1]. It has since added Dropbox integration, printer status displays and print from url capability.

To use the site, upload your document into Print@CU. The site sends your file to a Columbia printer, at which point you enter your UNI at the NINJa terminal to print normally.

Note that trying to print images can be spotty.

In fall of 2013, Spec bought it[1].

Your document is printing as:

Since Print@CU doesn't ask for UNIs, it submits documents from a list of false names. It is rumored to select the name Malkovich when parts of the system are experiencing errors, leading to entire printers being consumed by the name. This list changes without notice and has included:

  • Forbes Celebrity 100
  • LOST Cast Members
  • Time 100
  • Famous American authors
  • People who've EGOT-ed
  • Muppets
  • North Korean leaders
  • Pokemon
