Printing for Wireless Users
Laptop computer users on the University of Pittsburgh Wireless network, Falk Library in Falk Library can now send printing to the HP 4200n laser printer in the library's Computer and Media Center (CMC). Print jobs sent through the network will be held in the print queue for one hour, and can be printed with a Vendacard at a cost of seven cents per page.
To take advantage of this new service, a Pharos printing client must be installed on your laptop by a CMC staff member. Staff are available to install the Pharos printing client Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., on a first-come, first-served basis. Owners must be present for the print client installation, which takes about 30 minutes in most cases. Other conditions also apply:
- The laptop’s operating system must be Windows 2000 or XP, or Macintosh OS X or higher.
- The laptop must be properly configured to access the University of Pittsburgh wireless network before the CMC staff can install the Pharos printing client.
- CMC staff will not install the Pharos client on laptops that display boot-up, software, or operating system errors.
- To avoid future operating system errors, it is strongly recommended that CMC staff remove the Pharos printing client when you no longer wish to use this service.
Please contact the CMC at 412-648-9109 for more information.
