Printing from Your Computer to AU Printers

Ashland University students can print directly from their computers to several campus printers. Here are the basics to get you started:

• You get 400 “clicks” per semester, and unused clicks roll over to the next semester. A click equals one side of a black and white sheet. If you want color, you get charged two clicks.
• You begin by going to this address to download a program to your computer and install it: http://PS3.ad.ashland.edu:9163/setup. If you get an option for which printer to install, go for Find Me Printing - Students [PS3].
  • Note 1: You can’t do this off-campus. You must be on the campus Wi-Fi network.
  • Note 2: This website can detect whether you are using a Mac or a Windows machine and adjust itself, but if you have trouble you can take your computer to the walk-up IT desk on the main floor of the library.
  • Note 3: Chromebooks have special trouble with this software. My best advice is to begin with the IT desk in the library. As long as you are there, the easiest path might be to use a university computer in the Writing Center to open your file and print from that.
• The general idea, after everything is installed and working, is that you do the usual thing to print a file and specify Find Me Printing - Students [PS3] as your printer. Your file gets saved to a server, but it doesn’t print yet. Then you walk up to one of the printers listed on this handout and use your EagleCard to start the print job. (It will wait four hours for you before it gets deleted.)
• The first time you try this, you will need to tell the printer your username and password, but after that, the system should remember you.
