New laptop and remote printing system

The exisiting PrinterOn system has been replaced with RemotePrint.  This is a similar web based system that allows you to send print jobs from your laptop, home PC and mobile phone to PCAS.  You can then collect your prints at any of the Bodleian Libraries copiers/printers.

It works very similarly to PrinterOn but user guides are available from library staff and the web pages.  You can access the RemotePrint system by going to http://remoteprint.bodleian.ox.ac.uk However, for the time being the old PrinterOn URL and shortcuts will still work and they will take you straight to RemotePrint.

This guide will take you through the process of sending a file to print from your laptop or from a computer not connected to the Bodleian Libraries network. Note that the system is being tweaked in response to feedback, so there may be some slight changes. The guide will be updated accordingly.
