• SE14, in the Library foyer near the Service Desk and Level 1 adjacent to the ehPod.

Marine Campus

Pay printing is not available on the Marine Campus, but all lab users are permitted to use the private printer located in the general-access lab (303).

• Workstations in the Library are set up to default to the black and white single-sided queue.  Workstations in other labs may default to One Note or the black and white double-sided queue.

• When you release a print job but it does not print, check the paper size of their original document.  Often the problem is that the document has been created and saved with an A4 paper size.  The printer does not support this paper size and discards the print job.  Change the paper size to 8x11 or 8x14 as appropriate.

• If a document from a website will not print directly, try saving it to the desktop and then printing it from there.  This often occurs with google docs.
