Print from the library's computers

Students and staff members are able to print by logging in to a library computer with their campus username and password, open a document, and select the printer from the print dialogue. They can release their print jobs at any of the Safecom Secure Pull Print printers in the libraries by using their student/staff card, provided they have enough print credits.
