Mobility Print Instructions

Mobility Print Instructions:

Mobility Print is a network print service that allows students and guests to set up Taft Network public printers on their own devices (laptop, smartphone, and tablet) and print to them just like a regular local printer.

What you need to know:

• Your device must be connected to the Taft WiFi network.

• If this is your first time using Mobility Print, you need to download and install a small application to add the network printers.

Important:  On an iPhone or iPad you must use Safari for the download to work.

• You will always be prompted for a username and password when submitting a print job -- use your Taft network userid/password (ex. jsmith).
