All students, both new and returning, must create a new account if printing for the first time since the March upgrade. To create an account, simply swipe your BuzzCard at any print release station. Once your account has been created, you can use your weekly allocation of $2.20 to print using one of the following options.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch6\u003EPrinting from a Lab or Cluster\u003C\/h6\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhen printing from one of the desktops in the Library Commons, or from a lab or cluster, select the name of the printer from the Print dialog box, make any print configuration changes such as paper size or number of pages, then go to a print release station located nearby.
