If you are using a computer not in the UofI Domain (e.g. you are using a personal device, you log in with a local account, or are using a Mac), then you'll need to use Webprint to print. While this can accept many file types, we recommend converting to PDF before printing.

- Click the Submit a Job >> box
- In the "Quick Search" text box, select SCS to only show SCS printers.
