Printing with ePrint

Why bring your own printer to campus? You can print from your own computer (on the Duke network or off-campus on a computer connected to the network by VPN) to any OIT or Duke Library printer. OIT's 25 computer labs are spread throughout campus, with other printers available in the quads and libraries. Many are available 24/7.

Check the up-to-the-minute status of a printer by visiting the ePrint Status page.

Get started

Just download the free software once, then use ePrint as often as you like. Black-and-white pages are free, and color pages cost just 50 cents each.

ePrint Instructions:

NOTE: The ePrint software is not yet compatible with 64-bit PC computers. If you have a 64-bit Windows machine, see the knowledgebase article describing a workaround, or contact the OIT Service Desk for help.

ePrint guidelines

Please keep these guidelines in mind when using ePrint. 

  • Do not use printers as copiers. If you need multiple copies of a document, photocopy it.
  • Recycle unwanted paper. Each computer lab has recycling bins.
  • If the printer is out of paper, toner, etc., report the problem.
  • Send each print job only once.
  • Save paper: OIT and Duke encourage ePrint users to save paper by printing on both sides of every sheet. Find out more about duplex printing.
  • Monitor your ePrint quota throughout the year.

ePrint reprint

Duke's ePrint distributed printing system now allows you to print a job again without running back to your computer.

With ePrint, you send a job to the system and then swipe your card at any print station and select the job from your print queue. With ePrint rePrint, the job goes back into the print queue for 15 minutes. If you need to reprint the job within that timeframe, just swipe your DukeCard at any ePrint station and choose the job out of the list of available jobs in your print queue.
