Mobile printing

Students and staff members at Aalto University who have a valid Aalto email ID can also use mobile printing. This means they can send files for printing from, for example, their phone or computer.

Aalto University printing services are renewed in November - December 2024. The new printing system is provided by Ricoh. The current Canon printing system and devices will be phased out.

This page includes instructions for mobile printing for both the new Ricoh printing system and the old Canon printing system.
