The directions below will allow you to choose documents from your computer/laptop device, and send the print jobs to the SmartStations across campus.

1. Click, or manually enter in your browser, the following URL/web address of the printing portal:

   https://ink.me/ursinus

2. When the above link/printing page opens, you must log in with your Ursinus credentials.

3. After logging in, you can click the print icon.

4. You can then drag and drop any files you wish to print.

5. You can then go to the SmartStations, log in and follow directions to complete printing.

 

To print from any computer running Windows or Mac OS you will firstly need to install the driver. This will add an Ink printer to your File → Print menu.

To install the driver on your computer, click this link: https://ink.me/ursinus

After logging in, click on the “File-Print” option at the top of the next page and then follow the directions listed on the page that loads titled “Ink desktop driver”.

Full information, instructions, and tuorials can be found here.

• You can plug in a flash/thumb/usb drive at any of the SmartStations and print directly by choosing the file on the drive that you want to print.
• If you prefer to use your Ursinus ID to complete a print transaction,
  there is a one-time setup at the SmartStation to link the ID card to your ink account.
  That would need to be repeated if you lose your ID and a new Ursinus ID card has been issued.

Payment for print jobs can be made using Bearbucks, or an account with Ink.

Add money to Bear Bucks

If you want to use Bear Bucks, go to the print station, insert your ID card into the slot and remove it, and follow the onscreen instructions to link your card and print.

After linking your card to your Ursinus account, anytime you send a print job to print, towards the end of the process to finalize your print job at the SmartStation, you will be prompted to either pay using inkCloud funds or Bear Bucks funds and
you will see the amount you have left in your Bear Bucks account. You can then choose Bear bucks as your payment method.

Currently, “ink” accounts can be funded in increments of $5, $10, $20, or
$50. Payment to fund a print account with ink can be made using a credit or debit
card. The ink account can be in addition to, or instead of using Bearbucks to print.

To add money to your Ink account, you can add funds by logging in at any of the kiosks or thru any computer and going to this webpage: https://ink.me/ursinus

Then log in with your Ursinus username and password, and then click the green “add funds” link at the top right of the webpage.

NOTE: Unless you add money to your inkCloud account, the $0 you see after logging in at the SmartStation is the amount in your inkCloud account.
