Information about the Cardinal Print program at the ChEM-H / Neuro research complex

What is Cardinal Print?

Cardinal Print provides secure, state-of-the-art devices and support to enable the ChEM-H / Neuro community to print, copy and scan. For example, with the Print Anywhere feature, you can pick up your printout at any Cardinal Print device across the ChEM-H / Neuro research complex, as well as print from any device, including your phone. You can learn more about the benefits of this new program on the Cardinal Print website.

What will happen to my printer?

Because personal and workgroup printers are a major security risk for individuals, departments, and the university, the shared Cardinal Print Canon MFDs will replace them. However, for staff moving to the ChEM-H / Neuro research complex who still opt to have a printer, local IT will only help with the initial setup onto the network. Local IT will not provide any follow-up or ongoing support, nor register any additional or new printers onto the network.

How will I get the printer driver?

You should see a new printer on your computer called CardinalPrint-SU when you send a document to print. You may also see a background process on your computer for the Pharos print center used by Cardinal Print.

If you have opted out of Stanford’s Endpoint Configuration Management service (BigFix), you can download and install the Cardinal Print driver directly from the Cardinal Print website.

If you do not see the CardinalPrint-SU driver, you may download it yourself at the Cardinal Print website. If you need additional help, contact your local IT support staff.

Note: If you already have the print driver for Stanford Redwood City on your computer (CardinalPrint-SRWC), please use the CardinalPrint-SU driver when you print on the main Stanford campus.

If you send a document to print using the Cardinal Print driver before you move, don’t worry. Your document will be held in a secure print queue, and it will not print until you log in and select it at a Cardinal Print multifunction device (MFD).

How can I fax with Cardinal Print?

If you or your group need to fax documents, you can use the UIT Cardinal Fax service, which lets you securely and easily create, send, and receive faxes directly from your email inbox.

With Cardinal Fax, you can send a fax by adding content to the body of an email or attaching the content to your email. If you need to fax a paper document, you can scan it at a Cardinal Print device and send it to yourself, then fax it using Cardinal Fax. To learn more, visit How to Fax with Cardinal Print.

Can guest use Cardinal Print?

Yes, your guests can use Cardinal Print. You can learn more about guest printing on the Instructions for Administrators and Instructions for Guests webpages.
