What isn’t changing?
You will still be able to request prints from public computers or from your own device. You can print from a phone, tablet, or laptop. You can still print from email on any device.
You will pay for your documents the same way using cash, credit, or debit at a print release station.
You don’t need to set up a Princh account. You just need a library card.
When you send a print job to the server, data is encrypted end-to-end to ensure patron privacy. Only the printer meant to receive the job is able to decrypt the data.
What will be different?
The way that you print will change. Starting the week of June 23, you will be able to print:
On a phone or tablet by
- Going to our Print from Your Own Device page.
- Using a QR code at the print station.
- Using the Princh app for iOS or Android.
- Entering print.princh.com in your browser.
On your personal computer by

There will also be some new features that we hope will make it easier to print.

Tips for Printing
Before you send any print request, use the print preview option in Princh or on your device. Check the number of pages.
You can print up to $1.50 each week for free with your library card's weekly print allowance. That gives you up to 10 black and white or 3 color pages each week.
You have the option to pay for more prints.
If you're not at a library, make sure that the location you're sending the print request to is open for visits.
The printer code is the same for all of the printers at your library.
The printer email address is unique to the black and white or color printer at your library.
Double-sided printing is not available in Princh. (The option to choose a paper size other than letter will be grayed out in the print settings menu.)
