Printing on Windows

Printing to CS printers on Windows OS

by Hanz Makmur – modified June 8, 2026

As of the Summer 2026, to print to CS Department printers, you need to install Papercut Mobility Print software. All print jobs must be released before they can be printed. If you got your RUID was issued prior to March 2018, you likely need to get a new card before you can release your print job.

Mobility Print allows you to print from your personal devices, including computers, tablets, and phones connected to the RUWireless Secure network.

This system is centralized and run by OIT. This new system simplifies the complicated steps by installing one software known as Papercut Mobility Print software. (Note: this is an HTTP, not HTTPS link)

When installing the software, make sure you pick these Computer Science printers.

Important:

To set up a new printer, and to print to CS printers, your computer must be connected to RUNet, RUWireless Secure, or University VPN. You may be asked to authenticate with your NetID credentials.
After printing, you must go to the printer room and release the job with your RUID.
All our printers are accessible to everyone who has access to the room where the printer is located.

Below are the old steps that should no longer be followed to set up your printers on your notebook. It is left for reference only.

OLD — Setup info

In the CS Department, our printing systems have the following features.

- All print jobs must go through a print server known as printserver.cs.rutgers.edu
- Jobs can be printed only from inside RUNet or using a VPN.
- Jobs must be printed using Postscript driver.

Below are steps to prepare your computer to print to CS printers.

Step 1. Install Postscript drivers on your Windows OS.

Postscript driver is not installed by default. If you have not done so, please follow Installing Universal Postscript Driver on WindowsOS

Step 2. Set up printer queue(s).

The print server will accept two supported printing methods from WindowsOS. You may pick either method.

Method 1: Printing using LPR/LPD to CS printers on WindowsOS Vista/7/8/10/11
Method 2: Printing using IPP to CS Printers on WindowsOS 10/11

Step 3. Print Test Page

Except for the poster printer, artisan, after setting up your printer driver, please send one simple test page to the printer to ensure your setup is correct before sending a large job.

Step 4. Check your print jobs

Ensure the jobs have left your computer’s local print queue. Once it leaves your computer, open a browser to printserver.cs.rutgers.edu

For more info, see the list of Computer Science Public Printers page.
