Printing To support our unique mission, we have not yet instituted a pay printing system like that used in the campus microlab system. We will be looking at this issue and may have to implement some form of charging soon. Since we are not an open facility, we reserve the right to restrict access to printers for non-SLIS student guests. Non-LIS students can not come to this facility in an attempt to bypass the printing charges in the UK microlabs. You can often save lots of paper by just copying the relevant sections into Word and printing from there.
Printing can be a little confusing.
Some of our computers have local printers attached, some don't. Be aware that the default printer is the laser printer at the front of the lab. We do have a high quality ink jet printer and a laser printer attached to the network. The cost of supporting these printers is significantly higher than that of our other printers, so please avoid unnecessary printing. Again, this is because of the cost.
