How to Print
Print From Your Laptop
If you are a current Dalhousie student, staff or faculty member, you can use your laptop to print to a printer at a Dalhousie Library. Please log in and select Web Print from the menu.
Print From a Learning Commons Computer
Ensure you have enough money on your DalCard to print - charges will be deducted from your DalCard. See the chart above for printing costs.
To print:
- Send your document to the printer.
- Go to the PRINT RELEASE STATION, swipe your DalCard or login with your NetID and password, and follow any directions that appear on the screen.
NOTE: At the Sexton Library this step is not necessary, as documents automatically print and charges will be deducted from your DalCard.
- Collect the document from the printer.
Print From an Express Workstation
When you print using an Express Workstation, your document goes into a print queue. Documents held in the print queue that are not printed will be deleted within one hour.
To print:
- Click print.
- When the Login box appears, enter your NetID and password. If you do not have a netID, use the number posted at the top of the monitor as the username and the password.
- Go to the PRINT RELEASE STATION, swipe your Dalcard ID and follow any directions that appear on the screen.
- Collect your document from the printer.
