Colour Printing Available for Students

A colour laser printer is now available at the pay print stations at both campus libraries. The cost is fifty centers per page. Students will simply click on File > Print then choose either the colour or black and white printer. They can do both in one printing session and the pay station will deduct the appropriate amount of money depending upon the printer the job is sent to.
