eduPrint – copy, print and scan
eduPrint is the common printing system at Uppsala University. With eduPrint you can print, copy and scan your documents.
When you print with eduPrint you do not send your print-out to a specific printer. Instead, your document is stored in a central printing queue. After printing your document you can collect your print-out at any eduPrint printer at our university. When you collect your print-out it gets deleted from the printing queue. If the print-out is not collected after three days it will be deleted.
Get started with eduPrint
You need the following to use eduPrint:
- an active student account
- funds on your printing account
- an eduPrint printer installed on your computer, tablet or smartphone.
Add funds to your printing account
To use eduPrint you need to add funds to your printing account. You do that in the eduPrint portal by activating a printing coupon or making a credit card payment.
Printing coupons are sold at the receptions at BMC, Blåsenhus, Carolina Rediviva, Ekonomikum, Engelska parken, the Segerstedt building, Ångström and Campus Gotland. Coupons are available at 20 kr, 50 kr, 100 kr and 200 kr, but all values may not be available at all receptions. The printing coupon is a voucher with a value code that you register on the eduPrint portal.

Installing the printer
When printing in eduPrint there are three different printers to choose from, with different advantages and disadvantages:
- eduPrint-UU – gives you the most functionality, but can only be used with a computer.
- mob-colour-UU – an airprint printer with less functions and options but that works with smartphones and tablets. Can sometimes treat black-and-white as colour, see more below.
- mob-black-UU – the same as mob-colour-UU, but only for black-and-white printouts.
NOTE: In order to install and use eduPrint you need to be connected to Uppsala University's wired network or the eduroam Wi-Fi. eduPrint does not work if you use UU-Guest, the Wi-Fi networks for guests.
Instead of installing a printer on your device, you can use any of the student and library computers on campus for printing.
Installing eduPrint-UU
Installing eduPrint-UU on Windows
Note that this eduPrint solution to install the print queue directly on the computer works on Windows 10, not Windows 11. For Windows 11, it works with the mob-black-uu and mob-colour-uu printers, PaperCuts own application Mobility Print.
- Simultaneously press the ”Windows”-key and the ”R”-key.
- Insert the complete row of the information below in the box:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /y /in /n \\edp-uu-prn01.user.uu.se\eduPrint-UU - Press ”OK”
- If your encounter an error, please make sure you are connected to the eduroam network.
- In the following dialogue box, enter your student-ID appended with @user.uu.se and password A. Tick the check box "Remember my authentication credentials" so that you don't have to enter your password again the next time you need to print.

- The printer will now be added to your computer. It might take a few minutes before the installation is complete.


Installing eduPrint-UU on Mac
- Download the installation file.
- Open the downloaded file.
- Click "Continue" to get started with the installation, and then "Continue" once more.
- Accept the default installation location and start the installation by clicking "Install".
- Enter username and password for your computer and select "Install Software".

- Click "Close" when the installation is complete.
The eduPrint printer installation is now complete.
The first time you print you will be asked for login credentials to use the printer. Enter you student account and password A. Tick the check box "Remember this password in my keychain" to enable automatic login when printing.

Installing eduPrint-UU on Linux
Prerequisites:
- The install script supports RedHat, CentOS, Scientific Linux, Debian and Ubuntu. If you have some other distribution you can still install eduPrint, but you will have to follow the steps performed by the script manually. By reading the script you will see what needs to be done.
- The install script presumes you can administer your computer with the sudo command. If this is not the case, you can instead log in as root and run the script.
- Linux development is fast, and new versions are often released several times a year. Unfortunately, we do not have resources to test the install script for all new versions. The script might not work on your particular installation even though you have one of the supported distributions.
Installation of the eduPrint printer:
- Download the installation package and unpack it in a suitable location.
- Open a terminal window and run the installation script install-eduprint.sh in the unzipped folder. The script will make sure you are running a supported distribution and then install the necessary dependencies and add the printer eduPrint-UU.
When printing, the computer will ask for your log in details. Enter USER\ followed by your student ID and password A. If your Linux installation has a key chain you can save your credentials in there so that you don't have to enter them every time you print.
Installing mob-black-uu and mob-colour-uu printers
If basic functionality is enough, or if you want to print from your smartphone or tablet, you can use the airprint printers mob-black-UU and mob-colour-UU. You can also use these if you are unable to install eduPrint-UU for Windows.
The airprint printers work with Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and Chrome OS. Install the airprint printers through PaperCut's own Mobility Print application.
NOTE: Due to technical reasons the airprint printer in some situations create black by mixing the colours yellow, cyan and magenta. In this case the printout technically becomes a colour printout and is charged as such. Therefore you should use mob-black-uu unless you specifically want to print in colour. The eduPrint-UU printer does not have this issue.
Sending prints to printer
When you need to print, the best way is to do it from your computer or phone. If that doesn't work, you can alternatively print via email or web upload.
Sending prints from computer or phone
The recommended way to send your print to a printer is to send it directly from your computer or phone. Select the printer "eduprint-UU". You can make various settings for the print if you want. There are no limitations on the size of the document.
Sending prints via email or web upload
If you can't install the printer and cannot print directly from your computer or phone, you can send the document via email or upload it as a web print in the eduPrint portal.
Note: This is an exception method for occasional instances when it is impossible to print via computer or phone. You cannot make any settings for the print, and there are limitations on the size of documents you can print.
Sending print via email
If you send it via email, you must send it from your student email address, as the sender address determines which user gets the print in their queue.
Send the document as an email attachment to print.black@uu.onricoh.se or print.colour@uu.onricoh.se depending on whether you want to print in black and white or colour. When you receive a reply email that the document has been received, it is ready to be collected at a printer. The maximum allowed document size is approximately 15 MB.
Uploading web print
Log in to eduprint.uu.se and select "Web Print" in the left menu. Click on "Send Document", choose colour or black and white, and click on "Printer Options and Account Selection". Upload the file(s) you want to print and click on "Upload & Complete". The maximum allowed document size is 100 MB.
