The Details on Printing in the Student Computing Space
Over the Fall Break, several new printers were deployed for use by laptop users via the wireless network or the plug-in ports in the Ford Library and the East Team Rooms. In addition, the printers have a direct cable attached to them for walk-up printing. The printers available for laptop users are in the sitting area at the bottom of the East Stairway and on the 4th Floor of the East Building in the Interview Rooms area.

A detailed FAQ is available on our website for those wanting to configure their laptops for printing to these new printers. View Instructions below or download a Microsoft Word document containing wireless printing information (975k).

If you have any questions about the wireless network or the printing enhancements, feel free to contact the Technical Support Center at 660-7878 or email us at tsc-help@fuqua.duke.edu.
