Print Documents Using CU Print

You must be on a wired campus network, eduroam, or connected via CU VPN to use this procedure. CU Print will not work on RedRover due to lack of authentication.

To print from your own computer, you need to have installed the CU Print software. The software is already installed in computer labs.

Use Print Preview to help avoid unexpected results. Check how your document will look before you print.

When you're ready to print, choose the Print command in your application.

Make sure your document is set to a valid paper size: Letter (8-1/2 by 11 inches), Legal (8-1/2 by 14 inches), and Ledger (11 * 17 inches). CU Print printers do not have settings for A4 or other European standard sizes.
