Printing

NYU Law students can print to our Law School printers using a system called Pharos. Pharos was implemented to reduce printing waste and improve print service.

 

What do you need to know to print in color?

  • You must install the new color print client found below in the Download and Install section.
  • Color printing costs $0.75 per page. 
  • Color printing is paid with Campus Cash.  You can reload your balance in NYU Home by clicking the Campus Cash link. 

Please note: Color printing using Campus Cash was a student body decision in 2017 and is subject to change by the current student body. Please contact SBA (law.sba@nyu.edu) with any concerns about this decision.

FAQ

1. I printed a job, but something went wrong. What now?

Simply resubmit your print job and release it at another printer. If you require further assistance you can call Helpdesk at (212) 998-6111.

 

2. What about double-sided printing?

When you install the print client, it will set all your print jobs to duplex by default. You can override this setting on any print job in your printer settings. The specific instructions will vary depending on your operating system and application you are printing from.

  • In Word, Print > "Print One Sided"
  • In Acrobat, Print > Properties > Finishing > Uncheck “Print on both sides”
  • In Apple Preview, Print > Down arrow next to Printer > Uncheck “Two-Sided”

3. I tapped my NYUCard at a print station but there are no jobs listed. What happened?

  • A document remains in your print queue for 24 hours after which it will be deleted and require you to resend it to the queue.
  • If the NetID you entered in the pop-up window does not match the NetID associated with your NYUCard, you will not see the document in the print queue. You will have to send your document to the Pharos printer again using the same exact NetID as printed on your NYUCard.
  • Documents printed to the color print queue will only appear at color printers.  Likewise, documents printed to the b&w print queue will only appear at b&w printers.

4. It says I have a balance, am I being charged?

You will not be charged for black and white printing done on the Law School printers. Color printing is charged at the standard NYU rate of $0.75 per page and does not debit from the $50 per semester print grant.  Law students printing to the "NYU Print Service" or at any non-Law School printer will be charged at the standard NYU rate of $0.10 per page for black and white.

5. Why Pharos?

The Law School’s Sustainability Committee, composed of students and administrators, pointed out that our public printers were responsible for an environmentally unsound level* of paper and toner cartridge use. We took that seriously. Pharos, which has been successfully used by the rest of NYU for several years, helps us reduce paper and toner waste. At the same time it provides students with convenient printing options and improves the reliability of our printers by reducing and controlling printing loads.
