Frequently Asked Questions:

I'm printing from my Mac, why does it say "Hold for authentication"?

If you see this message, you need to authenticate again when printing. This may happen if you have changed your password or entered the wrong password. Click on the symbol marked in the image, then enter your UiO username and password. You should then be able to send the print job to the printer and retrieve your document.

I have changed my password, why am I unable to print?

If you are unable to print after changing your password, you may need to authenticate again.

For Mac computers, you will usually see Waiting for authentication or Hold for authentication, refer to the solution in the previous question.

For Windows users, this should usually work fine. If you are unable to print after changing your password, you may need to set up MobilityPrint again. Refer to the guide above to install MobilityPrint. 

Which printer should I choose when I want to print?

You should send your print job to the UiO-Print printer queue.
