Whether you"re using a PC or a Mac, several network printers are available for your use. Always make sure you know where the print job is going before sending it Ð if someone has reset the destination, your paper could show up in another building on campus!

The main computer labs have laser printers in them. As you print on a networked printer, remember: print jobs have to travel over the network. Be patient. If your document still hasn"t printed five minutes after you sent the command, ask a lab assistant for help. Sending a second print request will make things worse. And, don"t print multiple copies Ð use a copier instead, that"s what they"re for.

A color laser printer is available in Olin for $1.00 a page, and a large-format color plotter is available in Hunter 404. Inquire at the Multimedia Development Lab about use and pricing for the color plotter.
