How students print in computer labs has changed

Because of problems with the printing pop-up window during the fall semester CIT has changed how students print documents in Calvin computer labs. When a student prints a document it will immediately be sent to the printer. Students no longer see a pop-up window with cost information prior to printing.

Students can check their Print Accounting Balance at http://www.calvin.edu/go/printbalance or...

Windows:
- Mouse over the Print Balance icon in the Windows system tray. Lower-right corner of the desktop.

- Click on the Print Quota Info icon on the Windows desktop.

Mac:
- Click on the Printer icon in the dock.
