Laptop Printing Now Available

Library Unveils New Service: Laptop Printing.

As of Monday, April 11, the ability to print directly from your laptop to a specially designated library printer is a reality.

Overview:

The new capability works in conjunction with your existing library print account (also known as your “LPT:One” account) so all you need to do is install a single piece of client-side software, the HLS Laptop Print Client, on your laptop and you should be off and (remotely) printing.

The HLS laptop print client enables an HLS laptop user to access public printing services at HLS. This is the same software used on the current public desktop systems in the Library and 030 Hauser, so the mode of use is the same. It is important to read the "Installation Information" linked to below before attempting to install the client

In the library, all laptop print jobs will be printed from a single, new, high-capacity printer. This printer is located in the copier alcove on the fourth floor, adjacent to the Reference Desk. It is not possible to print to other library printers from a laptop. (The only other printer for which laptop printing is enabled is located in the ITS computer lab in Hauser 030.)

Limitations:

Please note that, in this initial implementation, the required print client is only available for Windows-based laptops. A Macintosh version of the client software is not yet available.

Installation & Setup:

The required client software is available on the Law School's ITS Community Website. To learn more about specific system requirements and to download and install the required print client software, click here.

Please do read the associated “Installation Information” and “Public Laptop Printing FAQ" documents. (These documents are also available from the ITS Community Website alongside the download link.)

Technical Support:

Please note that technical support for issues relating to installation and configuration of the print client should be referred to the Law School's ITS group. Library Tech RAs are familiar with the software and can offer general advice on the process but are not experts. For expert advice, please contact the ITS Help Desk.

For problems associated with the printer itself, as with all library printers, please contact one of the Library Tech RAs.
