Connecting to the Library’s Printer
If you are using your laptop in the library and need to print something, you can connect to the library’s LaserJet Printer (Black and White Only) by following one of these two methods. Note: Printing to the Library Printer costs 20 cents per page. Let the Librarian know you are going to print so they can make sure the printer is turned on.
Both methods change your default printer. When you return home you will need to reset the default printer to the printer you prefer to use. Once you have installed the printer on your laptop, you will not have to do it the next time you come to the library. You will simply have to choose the HP 4050 printer on your list.
Instructions are for Windows Computers only.
