Updated Printing Notifications
During Winter Break the IT Department implemented several new software policies in regards to printing. Due to this, it is suggested that you restart your computer if it was left up and running during break.

Now, when you print to the Color Follow Me queues, you will be asked if you are sure if you want to print in color. If you print more than four pages to the Black and White Follow Me queue, and are set to print single sided, you will be asked if you want to change it to duplex (double sided).

If you have problems with printing to the color printers, please submit a support request, and the IT Department will get the issue resolved as soon as possible.
