Question
As a student, how do I print on campus and pay for it?
Answer
Students can print on campus from lab computers or their personal device (laptop, phone, or tablet). Printing is charged to Thunder Bucks per page, $0.02 for black & white and $0.06 for color.
There are printers available in:
- Williams Library
- TC15 (basement) computer lab
- Great Plains East dorm
Print from a Lab Computer
When using lab computers in the Williams Library and TC15 (basement) computer lab, you may directly print without needing to "release" the print job.
For example, selecting "Library-TB-BW on nsu-ps03" will print to the Library's black and white printer.
Print from a Personal Device
Is this your first time printing? If so, please install PaperCut on your laptop, phone, or tablet:

Printing:
- When printing on your device, select "SecureHold-TB" as the print destination.
- You can "release" the print job in two ways:

- Go to https://print.northern.edu:9192/user, sign in with your Wolves account, then go to Jobs Pending Release and select the printer location.
