Kenyon provides many networked printers for student and employee use. While office printers are only available for use by members of that department, any Kenyon faculty, staff, or student may use the public printers. All public printers can release print jobs sent to the central public print queue, which can be accessed from both personal and public lab computers.
For instructions on adding the public print queue to your personal computer, see our Public printing documentation.
Additionally, Ricoh printers significantly reduce wasted paper. By having users release print jobs at any public printer, we are able to avoid paper wasted due to jobs that are released after a job is resolved or are never picked up after printing. The Ricoh printers affirm Kenyon’s commitment to reducing our environmental impact. We call on Kenyon students and staff to aid us in this continued commitment by printing less and utilizing electronic copies whenever possible.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call Helpline at 1-740-427-5700 or email helpline@kenyon.edu.

Any public printer can print documents sent to the PublicPrint queue. After sending a document to the PublicPrint queue, users can release the print job from any public printer on campus after authenticating their credentials. To do so, simply tap your K-card on the black scanner or the picture of the K-card on the side of the printer, depending on the printer. If you don’t have your K-card, you can also type in your Kenyon username and password on the touchscreen. Your print job will automatically begin to print after scanning your K-card or entering your credentials. Print jobs are deleted from the queue if not printed within 24 hours.For instructions on adding the public print queue to your personal computer, see our Public printing documentation.
