 Printing via Email

Duke's public printers can receive print jobs via email. Each user's default e-mail address and alias have already been configured to use this service. If you want to use a different email address, you must register it with the Mobile Print system. 

Sending a Print Job via Email

1. Open a new email and attach the file that you want to print. Both the body of the e-mail and the attachments will be available for printing.  Please note that the size of each attachment is limited to 10 MB, each message is limited to 10 attachments, and users are limited to 100 emails per day or fewer.
2. Send your email to print-mobile-bw@duke.edu for black and white jobs or to print-mobile-clr@duke.edu for color jobs.
3. Once the job is ready to print, you will receive an email confirmation.  If your e-mail address is not registered, you will first need to register it before your job will be released.  See the section below.
4. Go to any ePrint-enabled printer. (note that color printing is not supported with mobile print)
5. Swipe your DukeCard through the attached card reader.
6. Select your job from the print queue that appears and click on the Print button.

The color printers that are part of the mobile print group, are: MR-BryanColor, MR-CIEMAS_2478A, MR-Gross353, MR-JHFC-Café, MR-Music, MR-Bostock, MR-FuquaE283, MR-Law_Color_1, MR-Lilly, MR-Perkins and MR-Smith.

Registering a Non Duke Email Address

To release documents sent via email, your email address must first be associated with your netID in MyPrintCenter.  You may register as many e-mail addresses as you want.

To register your email address:

1. If there is no record of your email address when you first send documents for printing to Mobile Print via email, you will receive a reply email to complete your email registration.
2. Click the Click to register your email address link. You will be redirected to MyPrintCenter. 
3. Log in to MyPrintCenter with your NetID and password. You will see a dialog box showing that your email address has been successfully registered to your account.
4. Click OK.
