Printing and Passwords for Lab Machines


Printing on the Law Library's Computers


The Law Library has two networked laser printers. To use a network printer, students must have active accounts on our network with funds on deposit to use the network printer. Applications for accounts are available at the Circulation desk in the Law Library or in room 316. Entering 1Ls (Class of 2012) may use the 1L website to setup a print account. Funds may be deposited at the Circulation office, room 316. If you have money in a printer account, you will then be able to print to either laser printer from any lab computer in the Law Library.

Please check your account balances early if you plan to use the printing system late at night or on weekends. The Circulation office is not open when the library is staffed only by student workers. Please read the information on How to Use Network Printing and the PaperCut Printing Policy.
