A bit about our printers:

The Library has 4 primary printers in the building. Our printers physical locations on the floor are all identified by a sign on the column nearest to that printer (Printer 1, 2, 3, or Color)

We follow the campus printer naming conventions. On the PC’s the printers are named as follows:

  • Printer 1 – Library-LJ1-M806
  • Printer 2  – Library-LJ2-M806
  • Printer 3  – Library-LJ3-M806
  • Color Printer  – LIBRARY-CLJ-M750

You can choose between the default and color printer at the top of the print dialog box in most programs.

Fix Common Printing Problems

 

 

PROBLEM: My PDF document does not print OR prints only a few pages
FIX / TIP: ‘Print As Image’ OPTION

In Adobe Acrobat click ‘Print’ and then in the print dialog box click the ‘Advanced’ button. In ‘Advanced’ select the ‘Print as image’ check box. Click ‘OK’ and print the document like normal. This makes the document slightly larger in file size but often helps you get past corrupt data that may be in your PDF document preventing it from printing.

PROBLEM: Only the top menu or side menu prints
FIX / TIP: CLICK ON THE PAGE BEFORE YOU PRINT

Always click on a blank area in the section of the page that contains what you want to print before you print.

Some web pages are broken down into sections called frames and the browser will not know what frame you want to print unless you click on it first.

PROBLEM: I need to print in color
FIX / TIP: SWITCH PRINTERS

Print the document then at the top of the print dialog box choose the color printer from the drop down list.

PROBLEM: The web browser crashes when I load/print a document, OR the page does not look right on the screen, OR the browser tells me I need a plug-in
FIX / TIP: SWITCH TO A DIFFERENT BROWSER

All stations have Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Google Chrome. If one does not like the page or document, a different one might do better. You can copy the web address from the top of one web browser and paste it into the address box of the other and you might be able to get directly to where you left off. 

PROBLEM: Where are my print jobs in the queue?
FIX / TIP: TRACK YOUR PRINT JOBS

On the desktop click into the search bar and type Printer. Select Printers & Scanners then click the printer you printed to from the list of printers. In the printer click Open Print Queue from the list of options.
