How do you get started?
Blinn College uses the Pharos UniPrint Service, a cloud-based printing system. Send a job to the Pharos Secure Printer and release it at any Pharos Print Station on campus. The Ricoh Printer/Copier Stations can print documents queued in the remote printing system accessed at print.blinn.edu. In order to print or make copies, you will need to login to the print station using your standard myBlinn credentials.
