Printing from a Computer in a Public Lab (Preferred Method) Printing using Webprint
  • If you are printing several different jobs, logging into a public computer may be more convenient and faster than using Webprint
  • Public lab computers have a variety of software, and may be able to open and print more file types that your computer 
  • Printing from the computer offers additional print settings that are not available with Webprint
  • The color printer located in Case-Geyer on the third floor can only be used by logging into a computer on the third floor
  • If you would like to print single sided, or if you want to select the pages you wish to to print (ie.  print pages 2-10 and page 15 of a 100 page document), you must log into a public computer lab space.
  • Using Webprint provides more locations and often extended (sometimes 24/7) availability
  • Conveniently send your print jobs from any location to a Webprint printer, pick up when convenient for you
