Printing at Reed
Printers for student use are maintained in the IRC, the Library and most residence halls. Students can both set up their own machines to print to Reed's printers and print from the various public computers on campus. Printing at Reed costs 10¢ a side for black and white and 35¢ a side for color. All freshmen, sophomores and juniors are given a $20 allotment for printing. Seniors are given $40. To view your bill, please visit printing.reed.edu.

Please select your operating system:
Printing in the IRCs
While using a computer in one of the IRC public computer labs, you can print easily from any application like MS Word or Preview. To send a print job, open the document and
- Click on File on the menu bar.
- Select Print... from the menu.
- In the drop-down menu next to Printer: select [PUBLIC] IRC to print black and white and select IRC Color **35¢/page** to color print.
- Click on Print.
Keep in mind that color printing can be slow, and that the print job will cost 35¢ per side if you print to IRC Color **35¢/page** whether you print in color or not. If you have a very large color print job, consider using the Print Shop or one of the color copiers in the library instead.
If you would like to print onto a transparency, please see the person working at the CUS Help Desk. They will provide you with everything you need to print your job.
Printing in the Dorms
Printing in the dorms is easy, as long as you follow the detailed setup instructions. One should not simply select a printer from the "shared printers" list. It won't work!
Laser printers are available in most residence halls. Each printer is scheduled for weekly maintenance, but if you find a printer not working properly, email CUS or call us at x7525 and we will get someone out there to fix it as soon as possible.
