Please make sure that you have swiped your card at a print release station at least once before using our mobile print services. This is required to activate your printing account.

  1. This page would be extremely helpful but unfortunately after clicking the weblink to sign to be able to print does not allow you to sign in with your buffalo state login information. In just says user name in not found or the servers are unable authentic the information. I am not sure if this a problem through the college or the web side. It is unfortunate not be able to simply print a paper in the library since printing and coping, a certain number of pages, is included in tuition.

  2. It sounds like you have never swiped your card at one of our print stations. This is required to activate your print account for the first time. Please let us know if you continue to have difficulty logging in after you have swiped your card at the library.

  3. It's not letting me login either and I already swiped my Bengal ID card at one of the printing stations.

  4. The most common issue is accidentally using your full email address as your username or using your Banner Address. Please make sure you are only using the first part of your Buffalo State email address without the "@buffalostate.edu" If you still have an issue with logging in, please stop by the Ask Us Desk in the library.
