You can print directly from the print portal.

Go to followmeprint.uis.no

Log in with UiS username and password and select the "Print from Web" button.

Printing via e-mail is a good option if you do not have possibility to print a document in the usual way.

You can send printouts to the system from all e-mail addresses ending in @ stud.uis.no or @ uis.no, and they will automatically be added to your print queue. If you send e-mail from another account (eg. Gmail), you must enter your student number in the subject field so that you are identified by the system. You can pick up the printout on any printer on campus.

Send the document by e-mail to one of the addresses below with the document as an attachment:

  • print@uis.no black and white (double-sided)
  • printcolor@uis.no color (double-sided) all pages are invoiced as color regardless of whether some pages are black / white
  • printsingle@uis.no black and white (one-sided)
  • printcolorsingle@uis.no color (one-sided) all pages are invoiced as color regardless of whether some pages are black / white

The following file formats can be printed: PDF, DOC and DOCX, PPT, PPS, XLS and XLSX (should be converted to PDF), RTF, TXT, GIF, JPS, JPEG, PNG, TIFF.

A guest at UiS

If you are not an employee or student at UiS, you can still access our printing and copying services. You can do this via our guest portal for printing, copying and scanning. Here you can pay with Vipps for our services. As a user of our guest solution, you have access to the same printers as the students at UiS.
This is how you get started.

  1. Navigate to followmeprint.uis.no

  2. Select the Guest button and then "Create account" or sign up via your Google account

  3. Note that you get a unique username in this portal. It starts with "uis-gjest-" + one letter from your first name + up to eight letters from your last name.
    Once you have logged in to the portal, you must make a payment into your account. Payment here is made with Vipps. When you copy or print, it is deducted from your account in relation to how much you use of paper, color, etc. In the portal you have a full overview of your payments and what you have used.
  4. If you do not use your guest account for 60 days, the account will be deleted. You will receive an email about this well in advance of deletion.
