See the ITS Distributed Printing Overview for general information about establishing a printing account, adding money to the account, and printing.

Instructions for printing from Windows and Macintosh laptops are available. Note that the instructions read "print from your room," but they apply to printing from network-connected laptops within Yale libraries.

These workstations are wheelchair accessible, have large-print keyboards, trackballs and Zoom Text Software. Information on the use of these workstations is available in the library where they are located.
