ePRINTit Basics

This article is for students and campus visitors who want to understand how ePRINTit printing works at Foothill–De Anza. ePRINTit stores your print jobs in a private, encrypted cloud account tied to your FHDA login, so you can send a document from anywhere and print it at any ePRINTit kiosk on campus.


What printing costs

Print type (8½″ × 11″ paper) Single-sided Cost Double-sided Cost
Black and white 15¢ per page 30¢ per sheet (no double-sided discount)
Color (where available) 50¢ per page $1.00 per sheet

Paying by credit card at the kiosk adds a $0.50 transaction fee per job. Depositing funds into your account ahead of time (minimum deposit $5.00) avoids the fee entirely.


Where the printers are

  • De Anza College: ATC 307 Lab, Bookstore, Hinson Campus Center lobby, Office of College Life, Kirsch Center, LCW Computer Lab (2 stations), Library Computer Lab, Library Copy Room, and SC3 Science Lab.
  • Foothill College: Campus Center Dining Room 2300, Smart Shop Room 2016, Foothill Library Room 3500 (2 stations), The Learning Center Room 3600, PSEC Building 4700, and KCI Building 4000.

Five ways to send files

  • Mobile app — upload documents, email, cloud files, and web pages from your phone. See Using the ePRINTit mobile app.
  • Web app — drag and drop files in a browser at fhda.eprintit.com or through the ePRINTit channel in MyPortal. See Using the ePRINTit web app.
  • File-to-print driver — install the Windows or Mac driver (download links are in the web app) and print from any program straight to your ePRINTit account.
  • Email-to-print — email attachments to [email protected] and receive an 8‑digit release code to enter at any kiosk.
  • USB drive — bring your files to the kiosk on a USB drive. See Printing at an ePRINTit kiosk.

Files you upload stay in your cloud account for 8 days, or until you delete them.


Ways to pay

  1. Prepaid account balance (recommended) — add funds with a Visa, MasterCard, or AMEX debit or credit card in the web app or mobile app. Your balance shows in the app, web portal, and at every kiosk.
  2. Cash — the Foothill College ASFC Welcome Center accepts cash deposits to your ePRINTit account. At De Anza, cash is accepted at [insert current De Anza cash location].
  3. Credit card at the kiosk — pay per job at the printer; a $0.50 transaction fee applies.

Money in your ePRINTit account works only at the campus ePRINTit printers — it can't be used in the cafeteria, bookstore, or for parking, and it isn't stored on your student ID card.

Add funds before you print. Prepaying at least $5.00 through the web or mobile app means no per-job credit card fee at the kiosk, and no holding up the line while you enter card details.
