How do I print in the library?

Answer

Colchester: You can print from any of the PCs in the library. Pages to be printed should be sent to Essex Printing, (this should be the default printer), where they will be held in a queue for 72 hours. To collect your prints, log in to the printer with your student card, select the document and print it. To print from a USB plug the USB into a PC and follow the steps above. 

You can also print from a mobile device. Using your Essex email account, open a new email and attach the documents you want to print. Send the email to  mobileprinting@essex.ac.uk. Log in to the printer with your student card, select the document and print it.

You can manage your print queue at any time. Printing is free for students and staff, but please see IT's page on fair usage and print balances.

Loughton: We have 2 printers in the library which can be accessed via the computers and also wirelessly from your personal devices. You can print from a mobile device, using your Essex email account, open a new email and attach the documents you want to print. Send the email to  mobileprinting@essex.ac.uk. Log in to the printer with your student card, select the document and print it.

These are free for students to use (please see IT's page on fair usage and print balances).

Full information on printing at all campuses can be found on the Student Printing Page.
