• Using your Villanova email username and password to log on to any vDesktop Terminal found throughout campus, and setting “vPrint ” as your printer when printing a document
• Logging on to your Villanova email and sending an email with your attached document(s) to vprint@villanova.edu
• Using your Villanova email username and password to log on to vPrint Mobile, available at https://vprintmobile.villanova.edu

Detailed instructions for uploading documents, as well as installing the vPrint software, can be found on the “Uploading documents to vPrint” information page.

How long do I have to print my uploaded documents before they are erased from vPrint?

Uploaded documents will remain available on vPrint for 24 hours. However, once a document is printed, it will be erased from vPrint.  

Where can I print my documents using vPrint?

The locations of the printing stations are:

The Pharos Reader is located at the top of the printer, to the left of the printer screen. Once the Pharos WaveID Reader is activated by touching it with your WildCard, you will be granted access to your vPrint account and uploaded documents.

Note: Please remember to log out of your vPrint account after you have printed your document(s). For more detailed instructions on printing your documents, please view the “Printing with vPrint via Pharos” information page.
