Printing

Follow the instructions on the "Print with Net-Print for Mac" IT@Cornell page.

If prompted for your username when printing, format your NetID/GuestID as follows: cornell\<GuestID> OR cornell\<NetID>

  • That's the lowercase word "cornell" followed by a backslash followed by your NetID or GuestID.

"Hold for Authentication" Printing Problem

If your job is not printing and the print queue is showing a status of "Hold for Authentication", this usually means that you incorrectly entered your username/password and saved that incorrectly entered username/password in the Mac KeyChain.
