We need to be able to print from laptops.

Comment –
We need to have double sided printing for the library.  There is no reason that this service should not be given to the students.

Thank you for this comment.  Double sided printing, if we had it, would incur a .10 cent charge per side. 

We have been told we are unable to have double sided printing due to setup settings.

We will forward your comment to Facilities & IT to inquire if this is now possible.
