Email Printing

‌

Email printing is the ability to submit a print job by attaching a document to an email. The email is then sent to one of two email addresses (Black & White or Colour).

What do I need to use email printing?

You must submit your print email from an University of Galway email account. It can be submitted from a PC, either on-campus or off-campus. You can also submit email print jobs from any mobile device, such as laptop, iPhone, Android phones, iPads etc. The only requirement is that you are logged into your NUI Galway email account.

Features & Restrictions

• Apple image files have a filetype = JPEG. These cannot be printed
• A 17MB attachment limit applies to these documents
• If your email signature contains any graphics, such as the college logo, the print server will also see this as an attached document and submit it for printing. This occurs when the image size is greater than 6 kilobytes in size. You can, of course, choose not to print it when releasing the document you wish to print
• All document will be printed single-sided (simplex)
