The Web Print system allows students to print to college printers from their own laptops without the need to install drivers. It works by offering a facility to upload documents in formats such as PDF, DOC etc using a standard web browser. You access Web print from the print system's User Web Tools. For the full policy regarding student printing, click here.The system can print documents that have the following file formats:

ApplicationFile Format(s)
Microsoft Word.DOC, .DOCX, etc.
Microsoft Excel.XLS, .XLSX, etc.
Microsoft PowerPoint.PPT, .PPTX, etc.
Adobe ReaderPDF

Free PDF printers are available for download from several websites such as CutePDF (which is by default installed on all the library computers). Printing from any application using the normal print function will produce a PDF document that can be uploaded using this system.

To print a document:

Open your browser to http://printing.tkc.edu and log in using your email username (without @tkc.edu at the end) and password. If you’ve forgotten your password you can reset it at https://changemypassword.tkc.edu. Select the Web Print link in the navigation menu.





The front page contains a list of your active and recently submitted Web Print jobs. At first the list will be blank. Later the list will show the status of submitted jobs.





You may see a message at the top of the Active Jobs page with other information that you may need to know to use Web Print.





Click Submit a Job to start the Web Print wizard

The first step of the Web Print wizard is selecting a printer where your job will be printed. There are two print queues on campus - The Library Print Queue is for single-sided print jobs, while the Student Double Sided Queue is for double-sided print jobs. After you send your job to the queue of your choosing, you can release your job at any of the machines in the library. Please note that will need your TKC ID card to release your job, or you may enter your printing username and password using the touchscreen of the copier if you've forgotten your TKC ID.





Select the number of copies to print.





After selecting the print options and/or account selection settings, the third and final step in the Web Print wizard is to upload a document to print. This page lists the applications and associated file extensions that are supported. Once a document has been selected and Upload & Complete is pressed the file will begin uploading to the server.






Once the document upload is complete you will be returned to the front Web Print page. The table now displays the status of your job. Jobs may be queued during times of high load. The status will change to indicate the progress of the job from rendering to printing, and job details such as cost and number of pages will be populated when known. You may stay at this page to track the status of the job or navigate away or close the browser. The job will not be affected.
