Wireless Printing
At this time, printing from personal laptops via a wireless Internet connection is not available. You can print in Library Annex I and Library Media Services (HSS 127) using USB devices or email. You can also print from the Laptop Checkout computers.
Printing PDFs
In many cases, PDF documents open into an Adobe Acrobat window within the window of the browser software. To print these PDFs, users must select the printing icon offered by the Adobe Acrobat software. This icon is below the browser navigation bar and on the left side.
Very large PDF files sometimes print very slowly or not at all. Aside from trying to print these documents on faster printers, computers, or Internet connections, students might also try requesting lower quality images (and thus smaller file sizes) from instructors (for course-related PDF files).
