Computer Services: Printing
There are two types of printing available:
- MyPrint: From library computers or wirelessly from your laptop, using your allotment. Jobs are identified by your BU user name, which you use to log into MyPrint. Please read our page on MyPrint for details on law school policies governing this service. Laptop users will need to install the printers. See MyPrint usage instructions.
- Library Print Stations: from library computers or wirelessly from your laptop, using cards. When you send a print request you will be asked for a user ID, we recommend that you use your logon name, but you may use any word. Laptop users will need to install a print configuration file. See Library Print Station usage instructions.
From Library Computers:
We recommend that you select double-sided printing whenever possible to maximize your 1000 sheet per semester MyPrint allotment.
Adding Printers to your Laptop:
