NOTES:  

• To print, you will need to authenticate with your NAU or NAU-Students domain account. The first time you print, it will most likely fail, as you are not prompted for authentication. If this occurs, simply resume the print job and then you should be prompted for authentication. Remember to enter the domain name, back slash prior to your UserID in the authentication window.
• If you are using wireless you must be connected to NAU VPN.
• If you do not want to re-enter your account information each time, you may select the Add To Keychain option. When you change your password print jobs will then fail; simply resume the print job as above and the authentication window should appear.
