Wireless Printing

Our university’s printers are set up to allow for wireless printing. However, the method by which you connect to the wireless printer can vary depending on what operating system you are using. Look below to find your operating system, then follow the steps in order to print wirelessly.

MAC WIRELESS PRINTING

If you are using a Mac, which program you will need to install can vary depending on your location on campus and the type of document you are printing. Identify the correct program using the following guide.

1. Click on the correct print package below for the printer you are trying to print from. The printer’s file will download to your computer with the extension “.zip.”

   StudentColor - Download Zip File

2. Double click the “.zip” file. This will cause the computer to change the file type from a “.zip” to “.dmg.”
3. Double click the “.dmg” file link. A popup window will appear showing an open box icon. Double click on the open box.
4. Click “Continue.”
5. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
6. Once the installation is completed, go to the App Store on your computer. Click “Updates.” You should then see a “Software Updates” menu with “HP Printer Software Update” beneath it. Click the “Update” button to install the update.
7. Restart your computer.
8. Print your document as you normally would. Now when you print, you should see the printer you just installed as an available printer. Select that printer and print away.

You will need to add annotations after you have created your bibliography.  Create your bibliography using RefWorks, then paste the annotation you have created below the citation it relates to.

If you have taken a book off of the shelf, and no longer need it, please place it on one of the red shelves at the end of an aisle. This helps us to keep accurate usage statistics for the library.
