[ARCHIVED] Tech Tuesday: Print From Anywhere: Laptop or Computer

The original item was published from October 17, 2017 to September 29, 2021 7:20 PM

Did you know you can print from your laptop while at the library? With our Print From Anywhere feature you can.


You can even print from your computer at home or anywhere, then pick it up at the library during normal business hours. The cost is the same as if you were printing from a library computer: $.20 per black & white page and $.40 per color page.


Here’s how you do it:


Please note: this feature is currently available only at the Morgan Memorial and Chuckatuck locations.

Simply enter your email address on the computer at the printer station, select the print job(s), click the print button, click the square button for Pay from Vending Device, enter your money in the vending device, and finally click Ok to release your print job. You have until close of business the day you print to print your job.
