The service is also available for Linux PCs.
From user-managed computers on untrusted networks
You have three options to print from untrusted networks:
- Papercut Mobility Print
- Driverless mode
- Standard mode
Papercut Mobility Print
From 30 June 2024 the Mobility Print App will no longer be available and will be replaced by the extension Papercut Mobility Print.
Papercut Mobility Print is a print service that allows you to access FBK printers from self-managed computers.
To use it, your devices must be connected to Eduroam or GuestsFBK networks. Then you need to install the downloadable Mobility Print extension at this link.
The printers used are identified by the Mobility Print logo:
When you will print for the first time, an authentication will be required: you can use your FBK username (without @fbk.eu) and its FBK password, or select the option Sign in with Google.
If you are using a browser already authenticated for the email, no credentials are required.
It is important to specify that the extension works only from Chrome browsers and derivatives, not for other applications, and is preinstalled on the new Windows Laptops delivered (installations post 2023), allowing the autonomous management of printers, both from trusted and untrusted networks. The service is also available for Linux PCs.
