How to Print

When printing to the MavPRINT system always be logged in as the profile set up with your MavMAIL user id.

To move files between profiles save the document in that local profile's "Public" folder. The public folder is viewable by all other profiles on the machine.

Once you have sent a print job to the printer go to the print release workstation and release your job to the printer.

To set up the other printers follow the same process of adding the printer but the queue names and models are:

MavPRINTcolor—HP Color Laserjet 8550 PS
MavPRINTCobBW—HP LaserJet 8150 PS
