What is GoPrint?

GoPrint is a centralized printer management system. It is designed to help us to better support and maintain a more flexible and efficient printer fleet than the previous system was able to.

How do I use GoPrint?

If you are printing from a general access computer (computer labs, Library etc.) to a general access printer see our GoPrint Printing Guide.

If instead you are printing from your own computer to a general access printer, you will need to first go through our GoPrint Printer Setup Instructions, then proceed to the above Printing Guide.

How much can I print?

Each semester, students are given $50 of free printing. Seniors producing a thesis may request an additional $15 on their account by emailing goprint@whitman.edu and indicating their major and thesis advisor.

Black and white printing is charged at 5� page/side for single-sided and 4.5� page/side for duplex (double-sided). Color printing is 50� page/side. Should you need to print more or to check your current usage login to the GoPrint Dashboard.

 During December and May, black and white printing will be provided free of charge.

What about printing that's not for my classes?

The free printing credit amount takes into account printing for classes and incidental personal use. 

If you need to print for a student organization or as a teaching/research assistant, this can usually be achieved by setting up a secondary printing account that gets charged to the appropriate budget number. Please contact goprint@whitman.edu for more information. 

What is different and what is the same?

You should hardly notice any differences when printing from a Whitman computer to a GoPrint managed printer except that the printer will have a different name that goes something like "//goprint/name_of_printer".

Setting up your personal machine to connect to a GoPrint managed printer will also be a different (and easier) process. However, the process of setting double-sided printing will remain the same and you will still need to manually set double-sided printing on the Whitman Macs every time you print. See our instructions for double-sided printing for more.

Finally, note that any printer connections set up for these printers using the old (direct-IP) method will no longer work, and you'll need to set up new GoPrint connections to replace them.

I lost my print job due to a printer problem. Can I get my money back?

Yes. If your prints don't turn out due to a technical problem with the printer (no ink, paper, etc.), you can go to the GoPrint Dashboard to request printing credits refunded in your account.
