You can set up your personal device to print from any release station in a campus library or InfoLab using your Wiscard account for payment. Papercut supports Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices.
Set-up and print from your personal device
You must be on campus and connected to the campus wireless to print
- Install Mobility Print to your device
- Go to PaperCut Mobility Print Setup
- See installation instructions below for directions specific to your device type
- You should only need to do this step once - though you can re-run the installers if anything changes or you need a different queue than you set up initially.
- Note: If you intend to pay using a Print Card instead of your Wiscard or Wiscard Print account (this is unusual), you will need to enter the Card Number and PIN instead of your NetID when it asks for authentication.
- Print to the desired queue from your device
- There are a couple different campus-wide queues. Ideally the location you're in should have signage telling you which to use there. Otherwise check the table below.
- See printing instructions below for directions specific to your device type
- Release your Print Job
- Log in to the Release Station next to the printer with your NetID and Password (or with your Print Card Number and PIN if that's what you used when you set up the printer on your device)
- A few locations might have a QR code that will take you to a website where you may release the job instead of a dedicated release station.
Print Locations
Broadly speaking "Infolabs-B&W-Mobile" and "Infolabs-Color-Mobile" are for printing in the InfoLabs, "Libraries-B&W-Mobile" and "Libraries-Color-Mobile" are for printing in campus library locations, and "Departmental-B&W-Mobile" and "Departmental-Color-Mobile" are for printing in the rest of the locations that support PaperCut around campus.

Installing and Printing from a Windows Device
Installing and Printing from a macOS Device
Install Papercut - macOS
- Go to PaperCut Mobility Print Setup
- Click "Download"
- Click the download .dmg to mount the image.
- Note that the file is named something like "pc-mobility-print-printer-setup-<version>[papercut-print.doit.wisc.edu].dmg. Do not rename this file. If your browser automatically renames this file, use a different browser. The installer uses the file name to know what print server to connect to.
- Run the .pkg to install the queues. Click continue through the boxes to agree to the terms and select an install location. Enter administrator credentials for your mac when prompted.
- You should now see all the PaperCut Mobility queues. Note that you can just re-run the installer if you delete any of these and later need them or if the published queues change and you need updated ones.
Print - macOS
- With the document open on your Mac, choose "File > Print", or press Command-P.
- A print dialog will open with a preview of your printed document. The options you see may depend on the app you're using.
- Select the desired queue from the "Printer" dropdown.
- You have a limited selection of options. Be aware that you'll have the ability to select color vs. black & white and two-sided regardless of whether or not the printer that you're ultimately printing to supports those options.
- You will be prompted for a Name and Password for the printer. Enter your your NetID and Password.
In the unusual event you intend to pay with a Print Card, enter the Card Number and the PIN on your card instead.
- Once you've hit print, go to a release station to pay for and release your job.
