Library Printing
Can someone tell me how to use the library printing? Never used it before and it's sort of an emergency

Which library are you in? If you're in Mills or Thode, you could put coins into a little machine and print by accessing the printer after using the print command on the computer. Better yet; ask a technician or library staff for assistance.

Mills. From what I've read, I add some money to my PrintSmart account and then print. Says I can use my laptop if I download the program, but how do I choose which printer it's going to come from? And do I need to press anything on the printer for it to work?

It goes to all printers. You log into the printer with your MacID and password (same one as Avenue, MUGSI, etc.), and press print. The files you set to print on the computer have been sent already after choosing to print them.

EDIT: You log into BOTH the program and the printer. Another option you have is to go on one of the computers, transfer via USB, and print from there.

I am not sure if can you print from your laptop in library. The PrintSmart thing works with computers at libraries only (Or so I think). Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think I read somewhere that you can download something so you can print from your laptop but if you are in a hurry, you might just want to email it to yourself to save time.

You could print from a laptop or w/e by downloading and using this program.

EDIT: Just send it to yourself or use a USB to print from another computer. You have about 10 minutes left at most, and it might take time to install and download the program if you haven't already done so. Good luck.
