Shared Printer Access
Most departments at Loyola use shared network laser printers. These printers are substantially cheaper per page, faster, and print in better quality than a local printer that is hooked up to only one computer. The ability to print to a shared printer is set up in Active Directory. Requests for access to a shared departmental printer can be processed by calling the Office of Technology Support at x5555 or by emailing ots@loyola.edu. You will be asked to provide the username of the person needing access, the name of the shared printer, and the username of someone who already has access to that printer. Printing from Colleague
