There are three printers located inside the Business/SPEA Library, and two printers directly outside. There are also two stand up computer workstations that may be used to access a document and then print. All these are walk up printers and do not require a reservation.

There is one printer inside the main library area. It can be used as a walk-up printer.

There are three printers (two black/white and one color).
