Overview
Releasing your print job is as simple as "Tap" or "Swipe" your TAMU ID card, select your document, and press print. Print Kiosks maintained by the Open Access Labs (OAL) allow students, faculty, staff, and some visitors (anyone with a NetID) to print. Click the OAL Printer Locations for more information.
Forgot your TAMU ID card? No problem, simply press the Keyboard button on the top right corner of the Printer Kiosk screens. You can use your NetID and password to log in and release your documents.

Once a print job is sent from any OAL computer or personal device using AggiePrint or Pharos Print App, you can visit any of the OAL Printer Locations to release your printouts within a two (2) hour window after sending the document.
