Note: The PrintAnywhere system examines the content of a file to determine its type, and does not require that you have the correct 3 character file name extension, such as ".doc".

Unable to use a printer

Some printers may be restricted by means of an access control list to specific users. For instance, a printer in a residence may only be available to students housed at that facility. The owner/administrator of a printer will be able to add you to the access control list in this situation.

Web pages do not print

Documents on the web or web pages that you try and print must be visible to the printing service. If you needed to log in to a site, then the print service will not be able to print that document. Download the document to print first, or save the web page as HTML, then try printing the saved document.

Unrecognized file format

The PrintWise service will only attempt to print documents that it supports. You may be able to save your document as a supported file type before printing.

No output printed

When you submit a print job, a status window is displayed. Closing this window before the request is completed may cause the print job to be cancelled. This happens when you need to accept the cost or confirm that the number of pages are correct, but fail to respond to this query.

Multiple file documents

Some documents are constructed of several files, with the application assembling the complete document from many pieces (some examples include CAD xrefs, saved web pages, linked sheets in Excel, and linked graphics in Word).

Since the PrintWise system deals with a single file, the missing files will either not appear or generate an error, depending on the file type. Try saving your document in a consolidated "single file" format, rather than as a collection of files, and resubmit.

Text characters missing or wrong

The servers handling your print requests have a wide range of commonly used TrueType fonts installed. If your documents rely on custom or unusual font faces, international font sets, or fonts in other formats (such as PostScript or AutoCAD fonts), then the campus printing service will attempt to make reasonable substitutions, but cannot guarantee results.

Session time out

In order the protect your network identity, the PrintWise Service will time out and disconnect your session if there is no print activity for several minutes. If you are asked to approve a print job, you must respond within the time out period. Active status windows that are updating the progress of a print job keep your session active.

Session cookies

The service requires the use of session cookies in your browser to be enabled. These cookies are not stored on your computer, but discarded after each print session.

Pop up blockers

PrintWise opens a small job progress window after a print request is submitted. If you have a browser pop-up blocker enabled, these status windows may not display, and your request may not be completed. Temporarily disabling the pop up blocker should solve this problem.
