Laser Printing
There are HP LaserJet printers in all of the public computer rooms and areas, which can be used for the production of high-quality documents. The use of laser printers connected to these computers is described in the document Print facilities in the Public Computer Rooms (pdf). Paper copies are available from the Help Desk.
There is a charge of 4p per side of A4 paper printed on the laser printers. Students must have money on their printing account before they can use the service. See the section Paying for printing, below.

The only paper size available is A4 and the printers are not supported by any DOS applications.
