What Is PrintAnywhere and Student_PrintAnywhere?

PrintAnywhere (and Student_PrintAnywhere - they are the same) is a print queue that allows print jobs to be released and printed at any one of several printers within the campus. The PrintAnywhere and Student_PrintAnywhere functionality is primarily designed for Student use. However, it can also be used by Staff and Faculty.  PrintAnywhere and Student_PrintAnywhere allows you to send a document for printing and release it from any printer, except for the one Fiery Gardiner Production printer (see below). By default, the PrintAnywhere and and Student_PrintAnywhere print queue will be installed on all computers in the Computer Labs, Main Library & the ABBA Resource Centre.

How To Print With PrintAnywhere and Student_PrintAnywhere

2. Open your application and/or document
3. Initiate a print (typically File > Print or CTRL + P)

What Is Fiery_PrintAnywhere?

Fiery_PrintAnywhere is a print queue that allows print jobs to be released and printed at two specific printers in rooms A301A (near the Seminary Lounge) and F402B (in the UGS Wing). The Fiery_PrintAnywhere print queue is primarily designed for Staff and Faculty use. The main benefit to using the Fiery_PrintAnywhere queue versus the Print_Anywhere queue is that the Fiery_PrintAnywhere queue supports advanced printing features, such as hole-punch and job stapling right as you send the job to the queue. The Fiery_PrintAnywhere queue is not supported on WebPrint.

Tyndale printers are available to all staff and students with either a student ID card or staff key FOB. The first time you log into the printer, you will need to tap your card at the tap point and the printer will then have you enter your Tyndale username and password to associate your printing account to your card or FOB. After this point, you can then tap your card and be logged in to the printer without entering your username and password. 

If you have forgotten your card at home you also have the option of entering your username and password to login without tapping your card.

If you have or are using a Tyndale-owned device, you can select any of the following printers to print to in the "Print" options of your application:

• PrintAnywhere (Staff and Students)
• Student_PrintAnywhere (Students)
• Fiery_PrintAnywhere (Staff)

Fiery_PrintAnywhere is for the two large printers, located at A301A and F402B. Student_PrintAnywhere and PrintAnywhere work for all printers, including the ones at A301A and F402B. After sending a print job to a print queue, you can swipe your student ID card or Staff FOB at the printer (or sign in with your username and password) and can release it on the device by either selecting Print All or Print Release and selecting which print jobs you would like to release, which will then be printed.

Adding Print Queues

If the print queue that you want to print to does not exist on your Tyndale-owned computer, you can try adding them manually. Please note that you must be on-campus or on the Tyndale VPN and be working on a Tyndale-owned and issued computer (including remote servers) for these instructions to work.

First, in the search bar at the bottom of your Windows OS, type \\printserv1.tyndale.local and then press enter or click Open  :

You will then be presented with a list of print queues that you can add to your computer. The primary ones we will be adding are Fiery_PrintAnwyhere, PrintAnywhere and Student_PrintAnywhere. Simply double-click on any of these 3 icons, and that print queue will be installed on your PC and you should be able to print to it.

If you experience issues with this, or are presented with a login and password prompt, please contact Tyndale IT at tyndaleit [at] tyndale [dot] ca or x4361.

For non-Tyndale devices, please use the WebPrint feature at print.tyndale.ca to print documents. The WebPrint service only accepts documents in PDF format. You will be required to login with your Tyndale username and password and have the appropriate amount of funds loaded before the job can be released from a printer.

Adding Funds/Credit

If you are a student, you will need to add funds to your printing account prior to printing. Staff and Faculty do not need to add credit to their account to print. After logging in to print.tyndale.ca, click Add Credit on the left side of the screen. You can add credit by payments through a PayPal account. First, select the amount you wish to deposit from the drop down, and click Add Value to be redirected to PayPal's payment page. You may also pay in person at the Tyndale Library if you would like to add a custom amount of funds to your print account.

Printing With Web Print

Once you have funds loaded on your account, click Web Print on the left side of the screen. Here you can submit your jobs for print by clicking Submit a Job. All files printed through WebPrint must be PDF format. The print server supports a maximum file size of 25 megabytes (25 MB). A maximum of 40 copies per print job is supported through WebPrint.

After you click Submit a Job, you will see the below print queue selection on the next screen. If you are a student - IMPORTANT: Do NOT choose the print queues that are labelled with C4065 and labelled as "STUDENTS DO NOT USE"; they will not work for students.

The print queues are named after their function. For example, if you wanted your print job to be single-sided and in greyscale, you should choose the "Greyscale Single Sided" queue. On the other hand, if you want double-sided colour, choose the "Colour Double Sided" print queue.

Or if you want to print Double-Sided Colour with 3-Hole Punch and Stapling functionality, choose the appropriately named queue. (Please note that the 3-Hole Punch and Stapling is only available from the printers in F402B and A301A).

Choose what type of print output you want and then click "2. Print Options and Account Selection" at the bottom right.

On this next page, choose the number of copies you would like to print, to a maximum of 40. Then, click "Upload Documents."

On this next screen, you can choose what PDF files you want to print. Please note that the WebPrint server ONLY supports PDF-formatted files. Please upload only PDF files, and then click "Upload and Complete."

After you've uploaded your PDF files to the server, give the server a few seconds to process the document. For very large documents, this may take a few minutes. Eventually, the Status column will change to "Held in a Queue." This means that the print job is ready to be released from the printer. If you want to cancel the job, you can click on the "Held in a Queue" button and cancel the print job. 

When you scan documents on Tyndale printers, the document will be sent to you via email and appear in your student email at webmail.mytyndale.ca. There is no cost to scan documents. Please follow these steps to scan to your email:

1. Sign into the printer (with your student card, staff FOB, or username and password)
2. Select Scan on the landing page

3. Select Scan to Email 

4. Select your scan options, such as file name (1), scan settings (2), check Addition Pages (3) if it's more than one page of scanning, and then press Start (4). If you would the printer to attempt to create text-based PDF version of your document, use the OCR to Email option (please note that the OCR option is dependent on the physical quality of the original source material)
