My Print Center FAQ
What is My Print Center?
My Print Center lets students manage their Pitt Print service printing, including these tasks:
- View the amount of funds in your printing account
- View print jobs that are currently in your print queue
- Upload files via web browser to your queue
- Delete print jobs from your queue
- Change options for print jobs submitted via My Print Center, MobilePrint, or Google Cloud Print

How can I access My Print Center?
Go to print.pitt.edu and log in with Pitt Passport.
Where do I view the amount of funds currently in my printing account?
Funds are listed at the bottom of the window:
- My Funds are the total funds available to you.
- Semester Quota lists the remaining funds of the $63 that each currently registered student and faculty member is given per semester. This amount resets at the beginning of each semester.
- User Added Funds are all funds that a user has purchased for their printing account. Any User Added Funds are carried over across semesters.
How do I view the print jobs in my queue?
Once you’ve logged in to My Print Center, all jobs in your print queue are displayed, along with the following details for each job: file type, title/file name, number of pages and pieces of paper in the print job, the time the job was submitted, and the estimated cost of the job (charged when printed).
How do I upload files to be printed through My Print Center?
- Click the Upload button at the top of the Job List.
- A file explorer window will appear, choose the file to upload, and then confirm.
Note: It is recommended to only upload documents if your computer does not support the Pitt Print Client as the client provides additional features.
How do I delete print jobs from the queue?
In the Job List, highlight any jobs to be deleted by clicking the corresponding check box on the left. Then click the Delete button at the top of the Job List.
How do I change the print options for jobs in my queue?
Please note: The ability to change options for print jobs is only available for jobs that have been submitted via MobilePrint. Options cannot be changed for jobs submitted using the Pitt Print Client or printed from the Student Computing Labs.
In the Job List, highlight any job you wish to edit the options for. In the bottom-right of My Print Center you will see options you can change including Color (Color or Black & White), Pages per Side (1 or 2), Sides (Single Sided or Double Sided), Copies, and Page Range.
Any print option changes can be verified by clicking the paper icon in the Print Preview column.
How do I view my printing account history?
Choose Activity from the menu bar. A window will pop-up to display various information:
- Activity Date and Activity Time – Date and time that the activity occurred.
- Activity Type – Print, Copy, or Credit.
- Print – any instance of a print job being released from a printer.
- Copy – instances when you made a copy or printed from a USB drive.
- Credit – instances when funds are added to or removed from the account without a corresponding print job, such as when funds are added to the account by the user or when the Semester Quota is reset.
- Description – This contains information about the print job including document name, number of pages, monochrome/color, and the simplex/duplex option. For credits, the description will only say Credit.
- My Funds Charges – The amount of funds that are added or removed from the account.
