Printing & Computing at the Trexler Library
As of August 2023, DeSales University's wireless printing is handled through PawPrints, which allows students to print from anywhere on campus and release their printouts at any release printer on campus.
Before using PawPrints, you must first install the system's printers (PawPrintBW and PawPrintColor) to your device. You will also need to link your current DeSales ID to your printing account at one of the release printers on campus.
