Students, staff and faculty are able to print to some of the cluster printers on campus (see the printer locations table below). These printers are in the managed printing program. Jobs will remain in the print queue for one hour and the job will need to be released using the release station next to the printer. To print via the campus wireless network, a secure wireless connection is needed. Please see the ITS Wireless Security web page for directions on how to do this.
