Printing Service

Nuestros Servicios de Impresión usan IPP (Internet Printing Protocol).

Como IPP se basa en HTTP, el servicio de impresión puede ser utilizado en cualquier red DEI, incluyendo la red inalámbrica Eduroam.

Por favor, tenga en cuenta:

  • Si su cliente no aparece en las instrucciones de configuración a continuación, envíe un mensaje a helpdesk@dei.uc.pt.
  • Configurar la impresora de red como la impresora predeterminada puede causar un retraso al iniciar Microsoft Word si la impresora no se encuentra disponible.
  • Por defecto, todas las impresiones se realizan en escala de grises. Para imprimir a color, debe enviar un correo electrónico a helpdesk@dei.uc.pt con la aprobación previa de los directores del DEI.
  • Es obligatorio que la aplicación PCClient esté en ejecución antes de intentar imprimir.



Who can access the printing system?

Teachers, researchers and employees.
Access by students is subject to approval by the DEI Direction.
