Wireless Printing

Question: How do I print a document from my laptop, home or office computer?

You can print to the Library public printers from your laptop, home or office computer.

  1. On your computer, open a web browser (In Windows, you must use Internet Explorer to install Library public printers).
  2. Go to the printer installation page.

Windows:

  1. Click on the Library where you wish to print.
  2. Click on "Yes" to the question "Do you want to add a printer connection?". This will install the printer.
  3. If you see a banner prompting you to allow an Add-on from Microsoft Corporation, allow the Add-on to install and run ActiveX.
  4. If a Hardware Installation window displays, click "Continue Anyway".
  5. When the network printer is connected, you can print your file to the chosen network printer from the Printer drop-down menu.

Mac OSX:

  1. Click on the Library where you wish to print.
  2. Follow the instructions as displayed.

Question: I've just pressed Print. What do I do now?

  1. To retrieve your document from the printer:
    1. When you print to a Library public printer from your laptop, home, or office computer, the workstation ID will be lib-mgmt1. All people who send items using wireless printing will have the same id so you will need to note your document name as well so you can tell which is your print job.
    2. Go to the printer at the branch library you printed to. You will need to print the document within three hours of sending it to the printer. After three hours it will be deleted.
  2. A typical network printer with monitor and card reader:
    1. Click the Refresh button on the on the screen to view an updated list of pending print jobs ordered by workstation ID.
    2. Select your print job from the queue. Select only one print job at a time.
    3. Click the Print button in the upper left corner of the interface.
    4. Touch your student ID or print/copy card to the card reader to display the cost of the job. If there is insufficient credit, the Print button will be disabled.
    5. Press Print to confirm your job, then collect it from the printer. Please be patient, your document may take time to print.
