Follow Me Print is a managed service which enables students to print documents from anywhere to any managed printing device.
Our printers are commonly known as Multi-Functional Devices (MFDs) as they allow you to copy and scan too.
You can print to any university printer and have 24 hours to release and collect it.
User guides for our new Samsung printers can be found below.
Please note: Your files will automatically print in black and white and duplex as default.
