DPrint Concordia University is in the process of implementing a new printing, scanning, and photocopying service called DPrint. This will allow students to print, scan, and photocopy from one machine called a multifunction device (MFD). More information on DPrint and the MFDs can be found on the DPrint page provided by the Concordia University Digital Store.

Printing

• All computers in the library are connected to printers.
• Default printing from laptops and workstations is double-sided on black and white printers.
• Colour printers print single-sided copies only.
  • Note: If your colour print job is not printing properly, try saving it as a PDF and then printing. (To save as PDF, in Word, Excel or Powerpoint, you can use “Save As” and select the PDF file type; to save a web page as PDF, select “print” and then choose the “PDF Creator” printer in the drop down list).
