Body
Over twenty printers are available all over campus for general student or public use. Using a self-serve system, users are able to print and pay by swiping a UwinCARD. UwinCARDs act like a gift card, where you can apply credits, and then each time a print job is released, it is deducted from the balance on the card.
If you are in a large computer lab that provides this service, the process is easy.
Printing Process with GoPrint
If your lab requires a per-user login, or machine names are fixed, the process is:
If your lab uses generic or guest logins, then there is one additional step where you need to enter a name and password for the job:
Simply print from the application on the computer and choose the printer in the lab. In most labs it may be the only printer setup on the machine you are using. In case you have a choice, the name of the printer follows this format:
name of the lab + "_" + printer type + "-HOLD"
Then go to the release station computer next to the printer:
- Select your job name (or login or workstation ID), enter your job password (optional),
- select the jobs you want printed,
- press the confirmation button (total cost will be shown)
- swipe your UwinCARD
- your UwinCARD balance will be displayed, press the confirmation button, and
- collect your pages from the printer.

If you have your own laptop device (Windows or MacOS), and you are connected to the UWindsor wireless network, you can print to the GoPrint system from your laptop. You will need to download and install additional software, as described in other Knowledge Base articles.
Adding Funds to your UwinCARD
You can add money to your UwinCARD three ways using:
- Cash or coin at the Automatic Deposit Machines in the Leddy Library or the CAW Student Centre
- Cash or debit at the UwinCARD Office in the lower level of the CAW Student Centre
- A credit card and making an online deposit through UWinsite Student (Look under UwinCARD Services > Add Funds)
Notes
Print jobs that have been sent to the release station, but not printed within 30 minutes are automatically removed from the queue.
The general public can purchase a card for printing from the Automatic Deposit Machine on the first floor of the main building of the Leddy Library, and add credit at the same vending machine.
