OTS Student Computing Services (SCS) supports grayscale and color laserjet printing,  large format color inkjet printing (poster printing) and 3D printing at our Cook 35 location. 

wēpa Cloud Printing at TU

The wēpa cloud-based printing system allows you to send files from your computer, tablet or smart phone and print them at any of the dozens of print stations conveniently located all over campus. It's a flexible solution that supports black and white, grayscale, and color printing on letter-sized (8.5"x11") paper—and it even prints on both sides.

How wēpa Works

Upload Your Files

Send your files to the wēpa print cloud using:

• wēpa print drivers
• wēpa website
• wēpa mobile apps
• email (specific steps below)

Print Your Files Using the Touchscreen 

OTS recommends using touchless printing (see below) or a touchscreen stylus to avoid contact with the kiosk, but the touchscreen option is still available.

1. Using a wipe from a TU sanitizing station, clean the screen and another kiosk surfaces you will be touching.
2. Swipe your OneCard or log in with your NetID and password.
3. Choose the files you want to print.
4. Identify your payment method; you may use TU OneCard Retail Points, a credit/debitcard, or wēpa points.

Print Your Files Using Touchless Printing

1. In the wēpa app, choose the files you want to print and your payment method.
2. At the print station with the app open, place your phone near the reader (lower right) or swipe your OneCard. If you use your OneCard, clean it with a sanitizing wipe afterward.
3. Your files will start printing.
