Question
How do I print from a lab computer to the printer located in that lab?
Answer
All lab printers have the ability to print in color or black and white. Lab printers are also set to default to double-sided prints. To change this setting to print 1-sided, please make sure you select print one-sided in Printer Properties before you send your job to the print queue.
