Tech Tips: ePrint for Students

October 1, 2019

ePrint is Duke's student printing service. B&W printing is available at no charge to all Duke School of Nursing students. Simply send your print job to the ePrint queue, go to one of our ePrint printers, swipe your student ID, and voila! Pick up your prints. And starting this semester, color ePrint is available on-site for students!  

Here’s how to get the most of this service:

ePrint Basics

  • If you haven’t installed ePrint, you can get an install package for your Windows or Apple computer by clicking here.

  • The School of Nursing offers the following ePrint locations:

    • Beside the IT Service Desk in the student study area of Pearson

    • On the 2nd Floor in the CND Lab

  • Always print to the ePrint_OIT printer – then you can retrieve your prints at any ePrint location on campus by simply swiping your ID badge

  • The SON-IT Service Desk offers a mobile device charging station near the ePrint printing area – check it out the next time you print

Timing your printing

Our ePrint stations are usually busy just before class sessions, but many times during the day, no one is using the printers. Plan your printing so that you can avoid the rush.

Color Printing

Thanks to your DUSON Student Council, DUSON now provides a color ePrint printer on-site.  The printer is located between the two B&W printers located near the IT Service Desk.

Installation:      

  • Here is a link to the installation. 

  • Please follow all instructions and, as always, If you need assistance, please call our IT Service Desk.

Operation:        

  • Once you have completed the install process, print to the ePrint-SON-Color printer

  • Our color ePrint is managed by Duke Office Products.

  • Only use the Xerox paper (located in the cabinet below the printer).

Cost:                   

  • $0.15 per printed page in color (printing/copying).

  • $0.06 per printed page in B&W (printing/copying).

  • $0.02 per scan to email.

  • Costs are deducted from your DukeCard balance.

Duke also offers color ePrint printing at a number of locations across campus – many just a quick walk away. To find the list of other color ePrint stations, click here and select “Color” from the list of filters at the top of the page.

Here’s our Tech Tip of the Week –

Ever needed to copy some text from a document and send it to someone (or to yourself) in an email?  Here’s a neat little trick that I like:

  • Open an MS Word document

  • Mark some text and press CTRL+C

  • Open your Outlook Inbox

  • Press CTRL+V

  • A new email opens up.  Now, all you have to do is address it and press Send.

See?  Pretty neat.  It can be a time-saver if you frequently email copied text.
