The Student PrintSmart logo is visible on all printers connected to this program. 

  • Submit a print job online.
  • Print up to 600 black-and-white pages or impressions or up to 120 color pages or impressions per semester at no cost.
  • Release print jobs through MobilePrint from any PrintSmart printer.
  • Print securely and privately; only you can release and see your print jobs.
  • Save waste: each print job defaults to duplex (two-sided printing) and reduces tray trash by not printing until the job is released.

You can find more information about PrintSmart through our Technology HelpDesk.

If your department has been set up with PrintSmart printers, you will need to request new printer drivers be installed on your Ball State computer to allow you to print to those printers. Once your computer is set up, you can send print jobs to the printer, then simply swipe your Ball State ID at the printer and follow the on-screen instructions to print your documents.

If your department has not been set up for PrintSmart and the department would like to begin that process, please contact the Technology Helpdesk at 765-285-1517 or by email.
