Library

Printing Help

The library has several black and white printers and color copiers/scanners. There is a per-page fee for printing but there is no charge for scanning.

Printer Locations

Reference Room: Printers are in the North Reference room near the computers.

Reading Room: Printers are around the corner, at the end of the main library hallway.

Printer Setup

To print from your personal laptop, follow CUS instructions. Each time you print, you will be prompted for your login and password. Make sure you're using your Reed Kerberos username and password, not your computer's username and password.

Printing FAQs

I entered my username and password, but the printer queue says "Holding for Authentication".

Your computer might autofill your computer's username. Select the retry arrow. Delete your computer username and replace it with your Reed Kerberos username and password.

Why isn't this PDF printing?

Sometimes PDFs don't print well from a browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. Try saving the file, and printing from Adobe Reader or Preview.
