Printers

We do not support personal printers on our wireless network and you will not need one.

There are multiple printers available around campus, charged on a per page basis and can be accessed from your own MacOS/Windows computer.

Please visit Campus Printing  https://www.lboro.ac.uk/services/creative-print/print-post/campus-printing/.

If you do bring a printer, it is recommended to connect to your printer via a USB cable. This allows you to print directly from your computer/laptop without the requirement for an internet connection. Please refer to your device manual for instructions to enable a USB connection.
