Printing

Printing from UMBC Workstations

Printing is available from the more than 180 computers at various locations throughout the Library. After sending your file to the printer, go to one of the self-service Pay-for-Print stations to pay for and generate the print. There are two Pay-for-Print stations in the 1^st floor Print & Copy room next to circulation, and one on the 7^th floor of the library.

Wireless Printing

Printing is available from laptop computers now with the installation of the Library Wireless package. In downloading and installing this package you agree that you are in no way holding the library responsible for anything that may happen as a result of the install. Currently only 32-bit operating systems (Windows XP) are supported.

Library Wireless Printing Client (Both Color and Black and White)

You must be connected to the "UMBC Campus" Network to print from wireless.

After installing the client, you may need to restart. After doing so when printing select the Library Printer on PHAROSNEW for Black and White or Library Color on PHAROSNEW for Color printing, and print as normal. At this point you will get a pop-up asking for your UMBC ID, which is the name you use to login to myUMBC. After this it will send the file to the printer, and you can go to one of the self-service Pay-for-Print stations to pay for and generate the print.

Troubleshooting! If you have an error message saying you can not connect to PHAROSNEW, please do the following:

Make sure you are connected to the wireless network UMBC Campus
Add the following line to the file C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. PLEASE NOTE that there is a TAB between the 98 and PHAROSNEW
