Step-by-Step Guide to Printing Your Documents
Printing at NYU Law using the Pharos system involves a simple two-step process: sending your document to the print queue and then releasing it at a printer.
Step 1: Sending Your Document to the Pharos Print Queue
- When you are ready to print, select either “NYU Print Service (Law)” for black and white printing or “NYU Color Print Service (Law)” for color printing from your printer options. Then, click “Print.”
- A Pharos pop-up window will appear. Enter your NYU NetID and give your document a recognizable name. This helps you identify your print job at the printer.
- Click “Print” in the Pharos pop-up to send your job to the selected print queue. Your document is now ready to be released at any compatible printer location.
Step 2: Tap & Print at a Printer Location
- Go to any of the conveniently located student printers in Vanderbilt, Furman, D’Agostino, or Hayden Halls.
- Tap your NYU ID card on the printer’s card reader. This will display your print queue.
- Using the touchscreen interface (or the corner of your NYU ID card if indicated on the printer), select the document(s) you wish to print.
- Tap the print button on the screen (or use the corner of your NYU ID card again if indicated) to release your document and start printing.
Important Note: Documents sent to the “NYU Color Print Service (Law)” queue will only be accessible at color printers. Ensure you are at a color printer location if you have sent a color print job.

Frequently Asked Questions About Printing at NYU Law
To help you navigate common printing issues, here are answers to some frequently asked questions about print NYU Law.
1. What should I do if my print job didn’t print correctly?
If you encounter any issues with your print job, the simplest solution is to resubmit the job and release it at a different printer. For immediate assistance, you can contact the Helpdesk at (212) 998-6111. They can provide further guidance and resolve any technical issues you might be experiencing.
2. Is double-sided printing available and enabled by default?
Yes, double-sided printing (duplex) is set as the default for all print jobs after installing the Pharos client, promoting paper conservation. If you need to print single-sided, you can easily override this setting in your printer preferences for each job. The method to change this setting varies by application:
- Word: Go to Print settings > “Print One Sided”.
- Adobe Acrobat: Go to Print > Properties > Finishing > Uncheck “Print on both sides”.
- Apple Preview: Go to Print > Show Details > Uncheck “Two-Sided”.
Adjusting these settings ensures you can print NYU Law documents according to your specific needs.
3. Why aren’t my print jobs showing up when I tap my NYUCard?
Several reasons might cause your print jobs not to appear:
- Job Time Limit: Print jobs are held in the queue for 24 hours. After this period, they are automatically deleted. You will need to resend the document to the print queue if it has expired.
- NetID Mismatch: Ensure that the NetID you entered when sending the print job matches the NetID associated with your NYUCard. Discrepancies will prevent your jobs from appearing.
- Printer Queue Compatibility: Color print jobs will only appear at color printers, and black and white jobs only at black and white printers. Verify you are at the correct type of printer for the job you sent.
4. Am I being charged for printing if I see a balance displayed?
No, you are not charged for standard black and white printing on Law School printers. The balance you might see is related to the broader NYU printing system, which charges for printing in other departments. However, at the Law School, black and white printing is free.
Color printing is different. It is charged at $0.75 per page and is paid for using Campus Cash. This fee does not deduct from the $50 per semester print grant provided to NYU students for general printing. This policy for color printing was established by a student body decision in 2017 and can be reviewed by the Student Bar Association (SBA) if you have concerns. Contact SBA at [email protected] with any questions.
5. Why was the Pharos system implemented at NYU Law?
The Pharos system was introduced at NYU Law as a direct response to environmental concerns raised by the Law School’s Sustainability Committee. The committee, composed of students and administrators, highlighted the significant environmental impact of paper and toner consumption from public printers. Pharos, already successfully used across NYU, was adopted to reduce waste and promote sustainability. It also enhances printing service reliability and offers convenient printing options for students by managing printing loads effectively. By using Pharos, NYU Law aims to minimize its environmental footprint while providing excellent printing resources for its students.
