  • There are two printers:
    • the main printer, located just in front of the Women’s Resource Center where the computer stations/carrels are located
    • the back up printer, located in the microform room (LB 302)
  • Items cue to both printers and are deleted in one hour if the document is not retrieved.

TIPS:

  • When printing a Word, PowerPoint, or Excel document from Blackboard/WebCT, the document must be saved on the desktop before it can be printed properly. Note: printing within Blackboard/WebCT might produce blank pages or pages with only browser frames and nothing else. PDF documents may be printed (without having to save them on the desktop) from Blackboard/WebCT by clicking on the print icon within the PDF reader/viewer.
  • PowerPoint presentations can only be printed individually (1 per page) as slides. Printing multiple slides on one page (handout format) is not possible on the main floor computers. Use one of the upstairs computers to print multiple slides per page.
