Print your documents

You must be logged in to the Johns Hopkins secure 'hopkins' network.
Begin printing as usual using your browser, word processor or other application.
Select "Copy Print on 128.220.8.16" ("MSEL" on OS X 10.4.x and 10.5.x) as your printer.
Unlike Windows PCs, there will be no popup window asking you to name your job. The user that is logged into the Mac is what will show up on the print station when the job is sent.
Retrieve your printing from any of the public print stations in the library.

If you have a problem, please report it by using Laptop Printing Support Form.

The Johns Hopkins Wireless Network is available in most areas of the Milton S. Eisenhower Library.
