Anyone know where I could go and print something on campus?

I was going to go to the library and see if they have a public computer lab/printer but if they don't have one I'm not sure where I could go.

Basement of student center has printers. (You need to put your data on USB or access it via the internet from their computers)

The place in the student centre basement is called Underground and you can pay with cash there after you print at their computers. It's cheaper than the rates elsewhere on campus. To use the library printers you have to put money on your student account through the library's website I believe. Then you can print from the library computers and log in on a printer to print (or you can even print from your laptop if you install their software).

All libraries have printers. Underground is an option also

To use the printer in the libraries, there is a machine that will let you put in some coins before using the printer. Simply find this machine (it's usually a tall white one and there usually a sign and beside a computer). Log in to your MacID, put in the coins and transfer it to your account (there are instructions near the machine on how to use it). Afterwards, you go to the printer, log in to your MacID, choose the one you need to print and the print. Of course you have to choose print option on the computer too.

This machine is usually located on the first floor of each library (Mills, Health Sci, Thode and Innis)

They don't take money at the machine anymore, they actually changed the printsmart system so it all has to be reloaded entirely online. Found out when I tried to print at mills two weeks ago.

That's what happens when I've been out of Mac for very long. I'm guessing they made a similar system as the one used by the Hamilton Public Library. Thanks for the info.

yeah I was really surprised :/ it makes it hard to print last minute at the library if you don't have any money on your account. they're just going to end up pushing students to use Underground more often.
