Papercut Instructions

Learn how to use NKU's pay-for-print solution, Papercut.

NKU's new pay-for-print solution, Papercut, allows users to print documents from any networked printer on campus using any device connected to NKU’s Wi-Fi.  You can print using the Papercut web portal, or you can use Mobility Print.  This allows you to add an NKU printer to your device and print without logging in to Papercut.

Please note that your device must be connected to Norse_Net (not Norse_Guest or Norse_Village).
