How to mail a print job

It is possible to print a file by sending it on mail to the UiS UniFLOW print system. The system understand the following file types, but notice that types in parentheses are difficult to get right, it is therefore recommended to save document of these types as PDF and mail the PDF file instead.

    2. printcolor@uis.no - for color duplex.
    3. printsingle@uis.no - for black and white single sided.
    4. printcolorsingle@uis.no - for color single sided.
  2. If you are on the Unix-nettwork, put your Employee or student number in the Subject field
  3. Attach the file you want to print. The file name should not contain any white spaces or ! characters.
  4. Send the mail, please notice that it may take a couple of minutes before the print job is accessible on the printer.

  8. Then provide the PPD PostScript Printer Description file.
  9. After that you can modify the printer settings, or just use the defaults.
