Printing at Archnet
Archduke Printers
Our printers and plotters are run from our print server, Archduke. In order to print, you must have an Archnet account. (If you are an architecture student and you do not have an account set up, please email us at archnet@u.washington.edu.) Your Archnet user account has the ability to hold a printing account balance that is deducted from each time you print to one of our printers. You can add to this balance by bringing your Husky Card Account to the Dean's office in Gould Hall 224 between the hours of 9am and 4pm and transfering money (minimum $10 per transaction) to your Archnet account. You may obtain a refund of any unused money on your Archnet account during finals week or between quarters during breaks.

Laptop Printing
Personal computers can be setup to print to the Archnet printers and plotters. To do so you will need a current Archnet account, and have access to a local Administrators account on the computer you wish to install the devices on. Instructions for the supported operating systems are linked below, as well as links to the print drivers that may also be needed.
