Printing on the Wireless Network

Public printers in the UW Law School are operated on the Pharos Pay-to-Print system. This system requires that print jobs be submitted to the Pharos system using the Pharos Popups software. Once a printout is sent to the printer, it can be retrieved at either of the two printing stations in the building: in the Law School (Computer Lab, room 222), or Gallagher Law Library (room L114) using your Husky card.

Downloading the software below will allow you to send print jobs directly to these printers. Once the software is installed, the computer needs only an internet connection -- such as our wireless network -- to submit jobs.

To get started, please refer to the section below that's appropriate for your operating system. For users of Microsoft Windows, we currently support Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista. We also support Apple Computer users running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). Earlier versions of Windows and Mac OS are not supported.
