Campus Copier Drivers for Mac and PC

To help support the new copier deployment, ITS is providing access to the documentation and drivers for PC and Mac computers below.  Instructions for Linux/Chromebooks are further down this page.

To use the copiers on campus with your computer, you will need to download the drivers at the following link:  https://union.printix.net/download

This software is for Union Faculty/Staff & Students and it will:

1. install the driver files for the copiers

2. set up the printer on your machine for the copiers

Please follow these steps to install the drivers:

1. Click on the link above then the green download button to download the installer.  The website automatically detects whether you are using a Mac or PC and will download the appropriate software for your computer type.

2. Open the downloaded file and follow the prompts to install the Printix client.

              You will need to CTRL-click or Right-click the file and select Open as shown here:

             You should then see the following window.  Click Open and install the software 

3. When the installation completes, your default web browser will open (If you are on a Mac and Safari is your default browser, 2 tabs will open so close one of them).  Click Sign in with Google and sign in with your Union account.  If you are already signed into another Google site such as Gmail, you will be automatically signed in.

4. The printers will be automatically installed and you can print immediately. 

5. You will use your Union ID to retrieve your prints from any campus copier
