Reporting a Problem or Requesting Service
All requests for service or PC and network printing problems should be reported to the IT Help Desk at x4357 (xHELP). The Help Desk will then route the call to the Desktop Computing department for resolution.
Printing services are available from various sources. Most computer labs have a network printer available for lab printing. The Donnelly 258 computer lab which is open 24 x 7 has four laser jet monochrome printers that provide printing support for the 54 computers in the lab. Duplex printing is available in the DN-258 lab as well as many other public networked printers across campus.
