Printing

MUprint allows you to send files to black & white or color Pay4Print printers from your computer. The per-page printing charge ($.10 black & white, $.25 color) is automatically deducted from your Miami MUlaa account when you swipe your ID card at the printer station to release your job.

MUprint is available in technology centers across campus. For more information, instructions on setting it up, and Pay4Print locations, visit MiamiOH.edu/MUprint.

*Note: There are no dedicated printers in the dorms. You are welcome to bring a printer of your own, with the one caveat being that if the printer has wireless capabilities, you turn off those capabilities. Wireless technologies, specifically printers, can cause problems for the Wi-Fi network.
