Lab resources

Printing in Computer Labs

Each lab computer is connected to a printer. You may also print to lab printers from your own computer via USFwireless (Windows 7 / Windows XP / Mac instructions). All labs have Grayscale printers, and some of the labs have color printers. Please see the table above for specifics.
Grayscale printing costs 6 cents per page, and color printing costs 30 cents per page.
To print to a lab printer, send your document to the printer and swipe your USF ID card (One Card) at the GoPrint station. The fee will be deducted from your Dons Dollars balance. For more information on One Card, please visit the One Card Office website.
Please do not print multiple copies of documents. Instead, print one copy and make duplicates. There are copy machines on campus and a FedEx Kinko's at 25 Stanyan St. near Geary Blvd. (415-750-1193).
Please avoid printing large files (unless you split them into groups of 10 pages or less) or graphics with a dark background. They can cause the printers to malfunction.
