Pharos Web Release enables registered users and/or faculty to release print jobs from any supported mobile or PC web browsers. Take note that Web Release shows both the jobs submitted from MobilePrint and the jobs sent via the standard Pharos Queues.
After the documents are submitted for printing to the MobilePrint email address, you will receive a reply email showing a list of submitted documents, including a link to the Pharos Web Release website.
