Printing with PrintWeb 

Printing is managed by IT Services, they can be contacted to offer guidance and answer questions about printing. 

Printing is only available to staff and students of the University of Northampton. Please note that there is no printing facility for visitors or Associate Members (including SCONUL). 

Documents can be sent to the printers across campus using the online system called ‘PrintWeb’. You will need to login with your University ID (student number or staff username, followed by your password). Once sent, you will be able to 'release' (print out) your document from any printer on campus.

A quick overview on printing
