Get started
You can find information about how you can print over Wi-Fi from your own devices in our libraries on this page.
The process is different depending on what type of device you are printing from. During the Covid-19 pandemic you may need to book a computer to secure space to use Wi-Fi to print from a personal device.
Instructions for Android devices
Unfortunately printing from your own Android device is temporarily unavailable due to Google retiring the module that used to allow this.
Our suppliers are currently working on a solution and there will be a new printing experience supplied that will integrate both Android and Apple to give an easier and more seamless printing experience.
We are expecting this in the next three months. We apologise for an inconvenience this may cause.
