For more information on WolfPrint printers in the College of Design, see the page with general information about printing.


IMPORTANT: If you had College of Design WolfPrint printers installed from previous school years, remove those from your computer, or reset your computer’s printing system. The older printers will no longer work. 

Resetting your computer’s printing system will remove ALL of the printers currently installed on your computer. If you have printers besides those at the College of Design, you may wish to individually remove the old College of Design printers manually and leave your other printers intact. Instructions for doing this both ways are included here.

To reset your printing system (remove all printers at once)—

1] Open System Preferences>Printers and Scanners.
2] Unlock the panel if it is locked. Right-click (or hold the Control key and click) within the list of printers on the left side. Select Reset printing system… from the pop-up menu.
