NU Library's Guide to Printing From Your Mobile Device

• Make sure you are connected to the campus PurpleHaze wifi network
• Use the Destination pulldown to view all printers available
•  Select See more... if not listed

• If HOLD-QUEUE is in the printer list, select to add it

• Then Print

• Make sure you are connected to PurpleHaze

• In the Windows search bar, type: \\printers

  • Be sure to use 2 backslashes (\\) instead of the more common forward slash (//)

  • The backslash key is located under the backspace key on most keyboards

• Press Enter

• If prompted, sign in with your PurplePass username and password (include @niagara.edu after your student number)
• Be sure to check the box, Remember my credentials, so you don’t have to login again later.

• In the Search Printers bar that appears in the top right corner, type hold_queue

• Press Enter or double-click HOLD-QUEUE (\PRINTERS) from the list.
• Once the printer is installed, a new printer screen will appear.

• Click on the Printer tab
• Select Set As Default Printer

To adjust printing setting:

• In the Printing Preferences window (located under Set As Default Printer):
• Under Color Options, change the setting to Black and White or Color depending on which you wish to use
  • Please consider printing in Black and White unless absolutely necessary in order to save us on toner costs
• Click the Finishing tab.
  • If YES: Leave the setting as is (double-sided printing is the default)
  • If NO: Change the setting to Print on one side only.
  • Please consider using double-sided as it saves paper and conserves trees

If the HOLD-QUEUE is not found in the printer list, install Mobility Print to add the mobile printing option to your device. Keep this page open throughout this process.
