Printing from your own device

Using a Wepa Account and Print Station

If your law library offers Wepa printing, you can create a Wepa account to transfer funds and select documents for printing. You can access your Wepa account by logging in with your university credentials or creating a separate Wepa account. Once you've selected your documents and chosen your print settings, you can go to a Wepa print station and retrieve your document by logging in and selecting your payment method. Wepa kiosks allow you to access cloud storage services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive.

Using an Online Form or Email

Some libraries offer printing via an online form or email service. You can submit your document through the library's website or send it to a specific email address, specifying the library name and colour option. After submitting your document, you can go to the self-serve print station, log in, and retrieve your print job. Make sure to check the library's hours and any time limits for print requests.

Using an App

In some libraries, you can use a mobile app such as Princh to send print jobs from your device. After opening your document, click "Share" and then select the "Print" option. You can also scan a QR code located near the printer to upload your document. Once your document is uploaded, choose your print settings and then log in at the print release station.

It's important to note that specific instructions for printing may vary between different law libraries. Be sure to check your library's website or contact their IT department for detailed information on printing from your own device.

Using a Wepa kiosk

The University of Colorado Law School allows students to print documents at the law library using a Wepa kiosk. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do this:

Using the Wepa Kiosk

  • Log in to the Wepa kiosk using your Buff One card, CU credentials, or Wepa account.
  • If you are printing a document from your course in Canvas, select Canvas on the right-hand side of the screen.
  • Choose the document you want to print, as well as the number of copies and properties of the print job (e.g. colour, black and white, portrait, landscape, etc.).
  • If you are printing from your email, cloud storage, or mobile device, you may need to first send your document to print via the Wepa website, app, or email. You can then log in to the Wepa kiosk and retrieve your document.
  • Select your payment method. You can add funds to your Wepa account online or at the kiosk using a credit or debit card. You can also pay with Campus Cash using your Buff OneCard or a Guest Card. Please note that credit or debit card transactions will incur an additional $0.40 per print job service fee. You can avoid this fee by using your credit/debit card to load a minimum of $5 into your Wepa account and then selecting the Wepa account as your payment method.
  • Retrieve your document from the printer.

Location of printers

The location of printers in a law library depends on the library in question and the institution that operates it. For example, at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, printers are available in the lobby of the law school, inside the Library Computer Lab, and in the basement's Law Cafe. Meanwhile, at the University of Colorado Law School, students can print at Wepa kiosks. Vanderbilt University also provides information on printing in its law library, but does not specify the location of printers.

Printing from LexisNexis, Westlaw or Bloomberg

LexisNexis provides free printing for documents printed from the LexisNexis research system to the LexisNexis printers located in the law school. To send a print request, click the “Print” link at the top of the Lexis screen and choose the printer location from the pulldown menu. You must set up your own default to use the “Quick Print” option effectively. Pick up your print job from the selected printer.

To print to the Lexis printers, you can also log in to your Lexis account and use the Lexis website's print button and options to print your documents to their printers. After clicking the print button, change the default printer selection from "Attached printer" to "LexisNexis Printer", then select one of the available printers. Avoid using the traditional File > Print method, as this may result in printing to a different printer.

There is no free Bloomberg or Westlaw printing. However, some users have mentioned that their law schools offer free printing across the board.
