How can I print from my laptop or mobile device?

Log in

Log in to the Pharos Print Center using your UVM NetID and password. 

Upload

Upload the documents you want to print.

Please Note: Files larger than 50 MB in size cannot be uploaded to Pharos Print Center. Please have them printed at UVM Print & Mail at 118 Waterman Building.

HTML documents are not supported. To print a web page, find the Print feature in your browser, then choose "Save to PDF." You can then print that PDF.
Other common file formats like .pdf, .docx, .pptx and image files can be printed.

Configure

Configure your document within the Pharos Print Center if needed. Look to the bottom of the screen for these options.

  • Choose Color or Black/White
  • Choose single or double-sided
  • Specify a range of pages
  • Set the number of copies
  • 8 1/2" by 11" is the default paper size at Howe Library. Our troubleshooting tips contain information on other printable sizes at Howe Library. Contact the UVM Print and Mail Center to print a full range of page sizes.

Pay for Printing

You will also be able to see the cost of your print job and your UVM CATcard CAT$cratch balance at the bottom of the screen.

Send to the Printer

Select your printer. You can choose between Color or Black/White.

  • If no printer is selected in the Pharos Print Center, your document will be sent to a print release station located next to the printers.
  • Other printers are available across campus including on the first floor of the Davis Center, at the Dana Health Sciences Library and at Silver Special Collections Library.
  • You can also print at the Print and Mail Center in Waterman or your department may offer printing. The process for printing in these locations may be different.

Pick up your print

At Howe Library, head to the Cyber Café to print or pick up your document. At Dana Library the printer is to the right of the front desk.

  • Either use your CATcard to unlock a print release station, then find and print your document (print jobs are arranged by NetID)
  • Or print directly from the Pharos Print Center on your device without using the print release station.
