Print Wirelessly with Paw Prints

Moreno Valley College's Paw Prints system offers wireless cloud printing through wēpa.

You may choose to print your assignments from a computer lab device, by email, by web, from your phone, by USB, or directly from Canvas.

Printing isn't free, so you'll be billed for the documents you do print. You can deposit print money in advance, via PayPal, or use a credit/debit card (a service fee may apply). If depositing print money via iOS, Mac, or Android, more payment options like Venmo and Apple Pay are available.
