Troubleshooting:
- If you have experienced issues with the print queue in the past: Remove the old print queue(s) from your device. On Macs this can be done from System Preferences > Printers and Scanners. On Windows this can be done from Control Panel > View devices and printers.
- If you're unable to access the internet while on the 'rockhurst' or 'RUWireless' WiFi networks: Go to neverssl.com, if prompted to sign in, sign in with your Rockhurst portal username and password. Check the Connecting to WiFi article for a detailed tutorial on connecting to the network.
- If the page with the client download is not loading: Try using a private window in your browser. Try clearing your browser's cache. Try accessing the link from another browser.
- For Mac users, if your print job is in the queue holding for authentication: Click the refresh arrow icon next to the print job in the queue. When prompted for your credentials, ensure you use your Rockhurst portal username and password. If this does not resolve the issue, try resetting your password.
