====== Printing Using Mobility Print ======
There will be 2 sections in this guide, one for Mac and one for Windows, as the process for getting Mobility Print set up is different for each operating system.

//This process can only be carried out in district, as you will need to be connected to the **spfbyod** network to get to the resources you need.//

     * [[#Mac | Mac ]]
     * [[#Windows | Windows ]]

Once the installation process is complete, the printers in your building will be automatically added for you.


=== Printing ===
Once your printers are added, simply print the way you normally would. The only difference is you may be prompted to enter a username and password. **Enter the first part of your district email(you do not need the "@spfk12.org") and the password you use to login to your district email.** This is important, as if you do not have a district device this username and password may be different than the one you use to login to your device.

==== Reinstalling Printers ====

If you delete a printer by mistake, you do not need to run through the entire process again. Simply open your Applications folder and find the "PaperCut Mobility Print Client" folder.
