Mobile Printing
Printing on Campus
What is PrinterOn?
PrinterOn is a mobile printing solution to provide an easy and convenient way for students to print these materials.
Why do we need it?
Students, like most of our society, are increasingly mobile. In the growing Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) mobile environment at Georgia Southern, students are no longer tied to a physical location like a computer lab or a desktop computer. Because of this mobility, students need a way to print academic materials on the go. The Zach S. Henderson Library and IT Services have provided PrinterOn to fulfill this need. Students can print from any location (on or off-campus) via email, through the mobile printing web portal, or through their mobile printing app.
Who can use it?
PrinterOn is available to all students.
Where are the printers?
Mobile printing is available on the Statesboro Campus in the following locations:
- Henderson Library
- Biological Sciences
- Carroll Building
- College of Business Administration
- Cone Hall
- Foy Building
- Hendricks Hall
- IT Building
- Nursing/Chemistry
