Printer Locations

Bender Library has three, high-volume black and white printers and one color printer located on the lower level. Every computer in the library prints to these printers. There is also a quick print station downstairs with six computers, which patrons can use to send print jobs. The Graduate Research Center, accessible from both the SIS terrace level and the Library's lower level, also has a high-volume printer/scanner.

Printing with Papercut

Patrons will use a cloud-based system (Papercut) to print, whether printing from library computers or laptops. Documents can be sent from your personal computer or mobile device using PaperCut Mobile Print. For instructions on setting up the printer on your device, please see these instructions.
