Printing in the Libraries

Having trouble printing but don't know what's wrong?

Is the correct printer selected?

• If you do not see the correct printer when you try to print, log out of your account and log back in. If this printer still does not show up, then there is a problem with your profile. Ask at a service desk for help.

Printing from Canvas

1. Close all open documents
2. Go back to the original link to the document
3. Right click on the link
4. Choose "Open Link in New Window"
5. Try printing again

Printing a PDF

• Click the printer icon instead of choosing File > Print
• Try saving the document to the desktop and printing it directly from there, instead of printing from a browser or application (like Canvas)
• Allow time for a PDF or other large file to get to the printer

2.   Click Advanced

   • Once Best has been selected, your computer will keep the setting until you log off
