Print to PawPrint Printers from your Mac

This article is intended for students who need to print to the Law School PawPrint printers from a Mac.

Once you have configured the PawPrint printers on your Mac, you can send documents to the PawPrint print queue and release them at a PawPrint printer in the Law School.

Before You Begin:

Release your print job

PawPrint printers are equipped with a card reader that is connected to the printer. The card reader allows you to securely release your print jobs using your Columbia University ID Card (CUID).
