Purdue Fort Wayne- Print from Anywhere Using WebPrint

Tags print

Overview

Purdue Fort Wayne students can use Web Print to submit print jobs from a personal laptop, tablet, or phone without installing campus printers.

Print jobs are submitted through webprint.pfw.edu and remain held for up to 2 hours until released at a supported lab or classroom printer. Web Print jobs are printed double-sided by default. For single-sided printing or other advanced print settings, use a campus lab computer.
