PAPERCUT WEB Print

When you're visiting the Library, you can print from your own device via the free State Library of NSW wi-fi using PaperCut Web Print.  This allows you to send files from your device to any printer in the Library.

You will need a Library card or a copy card to use PaperCut Web Print. Both cards are available at service points in the reading rooms. Credit can then be added to your Library card or copy card at one of the reload kiosks. See the Printing, copying and scanning page for more pricing information.

From most devices, you can print:

• PDF files
• documents (doc, docx, rtf, txt, wpd and wps)
• spreadsheets (xls, xlsx and xlr)
• images (jpg, jpeg, png, tiff, gif and bmp)
• data files such as PowerPoint (ppt, pptx, csv, pps and xml)

If printing from a web browser, we suggest first saving the webpage as a PDF or copying the content to a text editor/word processor such as Notepad or Word.

PaperCut Web Print is supported on devices running Windows, Android and Mac OS X.

Important note for Apple iOS devices (iPad and iPhone): You can only print documents saved in your iCloud Drive, or photos saved in the Apple Photos app.
