FollowMe printing is currently only accessible through Citrix.  Please see Printing from CCAS Citrix Workspace for instructions on how to print.

FollowMe printing allows users to print from their personal and university-owned Windows, Linux, and Mac machines securely and easily. Print jobs can be released at the copier using your GWorld Card to tap and print. Other features include a single print driver installation on your workstation and a reduction in the environmental impact associated with copiers.

What do you need to use CCAS Follow Me Printing

A CCAS Cloud account and GWorld Card.

• Your CCAS Cloud account will be used to submit all print jobs, while your GWorld Card will be used to release and print your jobs at the Canon copier machine. 

• The CCAS Cloud account is separate from your GW user name and password, and requires separate set up. If you do not have a CCAS Cloud Account, an account will be created for you and an e-mail will be sent with your credentials.
