Wireless Printing

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

Wireless Printing

Just a reminder about the Library’s wireless printing service which started up at the beginning of the year.

You can now print to Library public print queues from laptops, offices, homes or anywhere you have access to the Internet!

For information on how to set this up on your computer click on the link.

Please note:
• For those with a Windows operating system, this service does NOT work with Mozilla Firefox, only with Internet Explorer.
• All print jobs sent wirelessly will appear on the library’s print workstations as lib-mgmt1, and it is therefore important to know the name of the document you are sending.
• Jobs not printed within 3 hours will be deleted.
