Wireless printing is provided for students’ convenience only. Students accept all risks associated with wireless printing such as but not limited to failed print jobs, lost/misplaced printouts, printouts picked up by another person, exposure of personal/private data, etc. HCU may not be held responsible for any problems that may arise from wireless printing.
Printing from a personal computer via the wireless network will incur the regular printing charges as outlined at https://myprint.hbu.edu. Refunds will not be offered for any jobs printed wirelessly.
It is recommended that students go to the MyPrint web site, login, and print from there. The processes below are more complicated, especially for Mac users.
Wireless printing kiosks are located at the following locations:
| Hinton Center 2nd Floor, East Common Area |
Printer Name: \\MyPrint\PrintKiosk-HNTN (for MACs) Driver: HP LaserJet 2100 Series |
| Moody Library near the Circulation Desk* |

This will contain the necessary drivers to connect to the HCU wireless printers (in Step #10). Also, you will need to ensure that you have the latest version of Safari (even if you don't use it for your browser).
1. Open Safari (browser).
2. In the address bar, type in: http://localhost:631
a. If you encounter an error saying "cupsctl webinterface=yes." To correct this problem, open your Application folder and open Terminal. You will see a strange looking prompt with the blinking cursor. Type exactly that same information (cupsctl webinterface=yes) into the terminal and press Enter.
