Printing

The KITP has laser printers available on both floors and in three distinct locations.  All laser printers offer a duplex option allowing double sided printing (please print double-sided to save paper).

Laptop Printing Setup

To set up your laptop to print on the KITP printers, follow the instructions below. Note - a list of printer queue names, models, and locations is listed above which you will need when choosing which printer to use. We use Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) which simplifies printing setup.
