NOTE: Print drivers will be asking for a NETID or an owner name for your print jobs.

Please use your NETID or pick an owner name that is one word, unique, and memorable to you. Make sure there are no spaces in either of your NETID or owner name otherwise you might not find your print job when you go print it at the release station.

Print drivers are not the only way to print to our Dawg Prints printers. You can now alternatively upload your documents at My Print Center and print them at any of our Dawg Prints locations.
NOTE: Your computer needs to be connected to the University of Washington network in order to install the print driver.

How to Print to a Dawg Prints Station:

  1. Download and install the Dawg Prints print driver then send your document to that printer 
    OR you can also upload your document here: https://print.uw.edu/myprintcenter/
  2. Type in your NETID or an owner name that is one word, easy to remember, and unique to you.
    (Your NETID is the first part of your uw email address - NETID@uw.edu)

Supported Paper Sizes

Dawg Prints machines only support standard American paper sizes, like Letter (8.5" x 11"), Legal (8.5" x 14"), and Tabloid (11" x 17"). (not available in all locations)

When printing a document with the native size of A4, for example, you will need to tell the printer to print in one of the three sizes above. Most print drivers also have the option to  "fit to print" or "shrink to fit" which will scale your document to fit the standard sizes.

The above error will appear when you try to print an unsupported size.
