Information Technology is piloting a new remote printing service that will allow students to print from a personal computer to a designated campus printer. If you choose to use this service, please take a moment to provide your feedback.
The remote printing process is easy. All it requires is a one-time installation of the print driver for the desired location, then follow normal printing steps but choose the specific printer location. Step by step directions and print drivers are linked below.
