Question

How do I print using ePrint in Windows?

Answer

Verify you are connected to Dukeblue Wi-Fi(DukeBlue) or Duke’s VPN (if VPN is needed, most users download, install, and configure the VPN Client from the Duke Software website). 

Visit https://eprint.oit.duke.edu/ and choose Resources tab.Next select client installers.You will be redirected to the software page so logon with your netid and download the latest Windows version of the ePrint software. 

Black-and-White Printing

  1. Select the print option of the application you're using. Please note that you may have to use File > Print to modify the chosen printer, otherwise it may default to the last used printer.

  2. When the Print window opens, set Printer: named ePrint_OIT. If you'd like to print more than one copy or only print selected pages of the document, these adjustments can be made here.

  3. If you want to print double sided, skip this step.  If you want to print single sided, set Presets: to Default Settings and change Copies & Pages to Layout, then change Two-Sided: to Off.

  4. When the ePrint popup dialog box appears, enter your NetID using all lower case letters.

  5. Swipe or tap your DukeCard at one of the Duke ePrint Release Stations on campus(link is external).

  6. Choose the document you'd like to print from your list of documents and select Print.

Color Printing

Color laser printers are available for your use in Lilly Library and Perkins/Bostock Library.  The ePrint software installer adds an ePrint Color_Library printer to your printers; use this special printer to send color documents to the color print queue.

NOTE: Before you try to print in color, be sure you have money in your Flex account since color printing is not included in the free allocation. See the OIT website for color printing costs..

  1. Select the print option of the application you're using.
  2. When the Print window opens, choose the printer named ePrint-Color(fee).  If you'd like to print more than one copy or only print selected pages of the document, these adjustments can be made here.
  3. When the ePrint popup dialog box appears, enter your NetID using all lower case letters.
  4. Your document will be sent to a special color queue and only show up at the Color ePrint Release Stations. These jobs will not appear if you swipe your card at a regular ePrint Release Station.
  5. Swipe your DukeCard at one of the Color ePrint Release Stations. These are located in the lobbies of Perkins and Lilly libraries.

  6. Choose the document you'd like to print from your list of your documents and select Print. Your DukeCard will be charged once you click this button.
