A mobile printing solution for MIT Pharos printers.
- Preview and print images and PDF files
- Send print jobs to color or black/white Pharos printers
- Kerberos & DUO two-factor authentication
- Print multiple copies, name print jobs, remember credentials and more!
- The user supplies his kerberos / athena credentials, configures other settings, and selects a document to print.
- An SSH session is started with athena.dialup.mit.edu and the user authenticates himself with DUO.
- User files are uploaded via SFTP to his athena locker into a temporary folder.
lpis run over SSH and the document from the temp folder is sent to the user's print queue.
Connection Refused- This either means you're credentials are incorrect or you've tried start print jobs too many times without authenticating yourself successfully with DUO so you've been temporarily locked out of your Kerberos account.Connection Timed Out- The connection took too long to make (>40s). Are you connected to the Internet?Incorrect Kerberos Credentials- You've probably mistyped your username or password. Try going into Settings, clearing your credentials, and then print again.Authentication Cancelled- You probably didn't respond to the DUO prompt correctlySomething went wrong- This means something else went wrong.

-
Make sure that you're phone can receive DUO requests.

Make sure to click on the "Details" button during the loading screen to see why you're job failed.

MIT Print is developed with Flutter, a cross platform mobile development SDK. Currently, running on iOS should be possible but has not been tested. If you are an iOS developer, please contact [email protected] or just contribute to the GitRepo. We need native SSH for iOS!
The app is currently available on Google Play here. The GitHub repo is located here. Make sure to leave a review if you like it!
