Will my left over UPrint credit roll over to the next year?
No. All students' UPrint credits will reset to 130 at the beginning of the fall semester. Any money you added to your Cane Express account however will roll over.
Can student groups and organizations use UPrint?
For student groups and organizations in need of printing services (flyers, posters, etc.) throughout the year, the Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee (SAFAC) provides special UPrint funding for these purposes. SAFAC will not fund UPrint for any organization who has or whose umbrella organization has already been funded a copier/printer. To apply for funding, please visit SAFAC Funding Request Forms
Can I get a refund if the printer messed up my job and I had to reprint?
No. Refunds will not be available.
My print job is not showing up on the black & white device?
In most cases this is because the print job was released at the computer or mobile device in the color queue. If a job is released to the color device it will not show up on a black & white only device.
Why should I print my black & white jobs from a black & white device only?
It is more environmentally sound to print black & white documents from black & white devices only. Although color devices will print jobs released to a black and white device, it is not ideal for the environment since this utilizes more resources
How does UPrint Mobile work?
With UPrint Mobile you can print your document by emailing it to UPrintColor@miami.edu or UPrintBW@miami.edu as an attachment. Each attachment will print as its own document and the email will print as well if it is sufficient characters long. If the email is not long enough to print or if you send a file type that is not supported by UPrint Mobile, you will receive an email notification. Please visit the UPrint Mobile page at http://studentsupport.it.miami.edu/uprint/mobile_print.html for more information.
Can I use any email address to submit jobs via MobilePrint?
No. MobilePrint is only available using a University of Miami-issues email address (@miami.edu or variation such as law.miami.edu) Pharos will use whichever email you have in CaneLink on MyUM as your preferred email address.

Will I get charged for a color print if I print a black & white job from a color device?
No. You will only be charged for a color print if: 1) the document being printed has color in it, and 2) you sent the job to the color queue. If both are not the case, you will be charged the black & white rate.
