Students may print in the Library computer labs. However, it might be more convenient to own a printer. This is especially true for color printing.
A number of scanners are publicly available so it is not crucial to own one. If you are buying one, Academic Computing recommends scanners that connect via USB.
For additional information on public printing, please read the Printer FAQs.
