Administrative Printing — Badger

Managed, secure, centralized printing solution for Columbia officers and staff.

Also known as Badger, new C-Print.

Badger is Columbia University Information Technology’s administrative printing system. Badger allows Columbia employees to send documents for printing from any computer or from your @columbia.edu email address. The documents can then be printed and picked up at any Badger printer location by tapping your CUID badge.

Quick Tips:

  • The most convenient way to print is using the Badger print driver on your CUIT-managed computer.
  • Jobs can be released on any Badger printer. 
  • Simply swipe your CUID at any Badger printer within 12 hours of sending your job.
  • You can delete unwanted jobs by logging into https://badger.cuit.columbia.edu.
