Overview
Releasing your print job is as simple as "Swipe, Select, Print!". Print Kiosks maintained by the Open Access Labs (OAL) allow students, faculty, staff and some visitors (anyone with a NetID) to print in the libraries and various buildings across campus as well as all of the OAL computer labs.
This document provides step-by-step instructions for using each of the Print Kiosks at OAL printers. Once a print job is sent from any OAL computer or device using AggiePrint, you can visit any of the OAL print kiosks to release your printouts within a two (2) hour window. Below you will find specific step-by-step instructions for using each print kiosk to retrieve your printouts.

FAQ
I tried to print one of my jobs, but an error came up and the job disappeared. What happened?
Print jobs must be less than 100 pages or 100 megabytes or else they will be deleted when you attempt to print them. High-capacity printers in Blocker, West Campus Library and the Student Computing Center are better suited for large print jobs.
How long do my print jobs stay in the queue?
Once you print to a Print Kiosk, you have two hours to release the printout. After that, the print job will be deleted.
If my print job is deleted before it is released at the kiosk, am I charged for it?
No. You are not charged until the job is sent to the printer.
