In order to use the campusprint printing service, you must have a valid user account (BA number + password) and a student ID or service card.
Both for setting up campusprint and for printing with campusprint, your device must be connected to the data network of the University of Bamberg, for example directly via the university WLAN or using a VPN connection. Information on VPN at the University of Bamberg can be found at www.uni-bamberg.de/its/vpn.
