Follow me
FollowMe sends your print job to a personal queue that only gets printed once you go to a FollowMe printer and log in at it.
Please note, that printing to FollowMe will only work if either when you are connected to the university network, i.e. using a university computer or be connected via VPN. It may work via eduroam, but this is not guaranteed.
On machines managed by the ZEDV the 'followme' printer will be automatically available.
For unmanaged machines we provide instructions to install FollowMe for ZEDAT Docu (German only) • MacOS • Linux
