Printing in Labs
Lab computers have the PaperCut Print Deploy Client pre-installed, which provides access to the full range of print settings (single-sided printing, custom paper sizes, and stapling) for jobs sent to the ToshibaBW or ToshibaColor queue and released on any Toshiba MFP on campus.
For quick printing without those options, WebPrint (webprint.ithaca.edu) is also available. A browser-based site that needs no software and works from any device, though it only supports double-sided printing with limited customization.
For complete instructions, see How To: Printing at IC. For printer locations across campus, see Toshiba Printers Around Campus.
