Over the summer recent changes were made to printing on campus by GTS. These changes included removing printers from residence halls and decreasing the number of printers overall on campus. These decisions were made to cut costs on printing materials, such as ink and paper. Student Senate is working with GTS to make sure there is transparency with the students on printing. Here you will find updated information about how to print, where to print and why these changes were made.

How to Print:

Instructions for both web printing and printing from a driver can be found here in pdf form and below.

Directly from your computer:

  1. Install ‘Mobility Print’.

Go to http://marco.gac.edu:9163/setup. Click ‘Download’. Select GusPrint, GusPrint-Color, GusPrint-HP, and GusPrint-HP-Color, then click ‘Next’. Enter your Gustavus credentials and then click ‘Next’.

*note: this is a one time installation – once installed, you do not need to go through the installation process again.

  1. You have now installed the Gustavus printers. Print normally from your personal device by selecting one of the installed GusPrint.
  2. To release your print job, go to gac.edu. Login with your Gustavus credentials.
  3. Click Jobs Pending Release tab on the left side of the window.
  4. Select the job you wish to print and click Print.
