Printing from your own device

You can use your phone, laptop, tablet or computer to send jobs to the library printers

Sending documents to print

Printing is free for students but subject to limits. Jobs are stored securely and kept up for up to 24 hours before they’re deleted from the system. See below for how to print via email and the PrintMe website.

Please note: documents with added password protection cannot be printed using the PrintMe system. Password protection will need to be removed from the document before sending it for printing.

Print via email

Email documents as attachments to print@printme.com. You can attach multiple documents to a message, in varying formats.

Go to the controller screen on a library printer and choose ‘Print’, then click ‘PrintMe’. Then select ‘Pay At Counter’ – you won’t need to pay, printing is now free with certain limits. If you’re a disabled student, you can use your enhanced concessions login instead by clicking ‘Account Access’.
