Printing can be submitted from any internet connected device through our Remote Printing Portal. See How to Retrieve Your Print Job for detailed instructions.

You will receive $7 printing credit on your library card each week. Print jobs exceeding your weekly credit cannot be printed using the contact-free method, but funds may be added at print stations for larger print jobs.

Printing can be in black & white or color. See Print Costs for pricing details.

Remote Printing Portal

How to Submit a Print Job

Visit the library’s Remote Printing Portal. You will be prompted to enter your library card number and PIN at this point (do not enter your username). Choose Web Print from the left menu.

Note: If on mobile, tap View in Desktop Mode from the bottom of the summary.

Select the Submit a Job button.
Select either black and white or color and size of paper you would like to print.
Select the Print Options and Account Selection button.
Enter the number of copies you need and select the Upload Documents button.
Upload files by dragging them into the highlighted box or browse files by selecting Upload from Computer.

Note: When you have finished uploading files, select the Upload and Complete. You will see a list of jobs pending release. They will say Held in Queue under status. Remote printing requests are retained until customers retrieve their printouts or 72 hours, whichever comes first.

How to retrieve your print job

To print yourself, visit any library during open hours. At the print station, enter your library card number and PIN, then select the job or jobs you would like to print. Remote printing requests are retained until customers retrieve their printouts or 72 hours, whichever comes first. *Please note, only your actual library card number will work. Usernames will not.
To have library staff print the job for you, select the Request Assistance button. Select a library, enter your library card number, and submit. Documents will be ready to pickup the next business day. See locations and hours to plan ahead.

Print Costs

Each week, you will receive $7 printing credit with your library card. This credit can be used for any of Sno-Isle’s print-related services, including black and white or color printing. Print allowances do not carry over.

For print jobs that exceed your remaining weekly credit, you may add funds at an in-building print station. Cash or credit is accepted.

Credit/debit card at the pay station will automatically add $10 to the balance (unused funds are refunded to the card). If using cash or coin maximum $5 can be added.

8.5 x 11 inches (standard paper size) black & white: $0.10 per page
8.5 x 11 inches (standard paper size) color: $0.50 per page
8.5 x 14 inches (legal paper size) black & white: $0.10 per page
8.5 x 14 inches (legal paper size) color: $0.50 per page
11 x 17 inches (ledger paper size) black & white: $0.20 per page
11 x 17 inches (ledger paper size) color: $1 per page

When you choose to print in color, the printer will automatically detect which pages in a job are in color and which are not, and charge accordingly.

For example, if you print a ten-page document that contains one page in color, the printer will charge you $1.40 for the job: $0.50 for the one color page and $0.10 for each of the remaining black & white pages.

You may still choose to print your job entirely in black & white. The color page would print in black & white, and you would be charged the black & white rate for the entire job.

In keeping with Sno-Isle Libraries' commitments to privacy and intellectual freedom, we do not monitor or track customer internet use on library devices. However, we cannot prevent customers' online activity from being tracked by third parties whose internet services they interact with while online. Customers are strongly advised to exercise appropriate caution when accessing the internet on library resources, both in the library and at home.

Why do Chromebooks have a warning message about user activity?

The warning message about sno-isle.org having “access to all user activity, including websites visited, passwords, and email” that appears during the Guest login process is generated automatically by Google’s Chromebook configuration policy, triggered by our internet filtering software. Sno-Isle Libraries does not monitor user activity.
Chromebooks to Go only keep user information while the user is logged in as Guest. The Guest session will remain active until the user intentionally logs out.

Laptops to Go delete personal information when a user logs out, restarts, or shuts the laptop completely off. Putting the laptop into sleep or standby mode will NOT erase personal information.

To ensure that all personal information is properly erased, customers are strongly advised to either sign out as Guest or shut the laptop down completely from the Windows start menu before returning it to the library.
Chromebooks to Go come with Chrome for easy access to the web and are designed to be used with web-based apps rather than locally installed apps like a traditional Windows PC. Chrome tabs open up to a special landing page with links to library resources, common productivity tools such as Microsoft Office Online and Google Docs, and popular entertainment sites.

Copying and scanning are available at all locations. Your weekly $7 printing credit can also be used to pay for copies.
