Information Commons Computer Lab Printing Instructions

All lab computers can print to both black-and-white and color laser printers. Cost is factored into your campus-wide student printing account -- first 200 pages printed per semester are free, subsequent printing is 10 cents per page. Color laser (HP Color LaserJet 4500) printing is charged against the same account, and is 90 cents per page.

Before sending a print job, please check that you are using the following settings. Other settings may cause the printer to lock up when you go to the Print Station to release the job:

  • Paper size: 8.5 x 11 inch (letter size)
  • Paper source: default tray or auto tray select
  • Double sided ("duplex") printing is NOT available.
  • Stapling in printer is NOT available.
  • Collating is NOT available.
