As we move back into the Colbert Education Center and Library we are bringing new printers online to service the needs of the students. Printers can be found in the open areas of the 4th and 3rd floors.
| Printer Name | Location |
|---|---|
| 4flcolor | 4th Floor near Room 425 |
| 4flbwa | 4th Floor near Room 425 |
| 3flcolor | 3rd Floor in alcove Room 336 directly adjacent to elevator. |
| 3flbw | 3rd Floor in alcove Room 336 directly adjacent to elevator. |
Library printers can be accessed via either Library workstations or student devices (see below for setup information). The process is the same in either case:
To configure your computer to send documents to the Library’s printers, download and run our setup tool from the links below:
Setup tool for Windows — Supports Windows 8.1 and newer
Note for Windows users: upon launching the setup tool, you might see a message from Windows Defender SmartScreen saying that the application is from an unknown developer and has been blocked. Click more information to reveal the open anyway button, and then click it to continue.
Alternatively, copy/paste the following into Start Menu or Run Window (Press Win+R)
powershell [scriptblock]::Create($(Invoke-RestMethod https://colbert.library.musc.edu/printers/AddLibPrinters.ps1)).Invoke()Setup tool for macOS - Supports macOS Sierra (10.12) and newer
Note for macOS users: upon launching the setup tool, you might see a message saying that the application is unrecognized and has been blocked. Right-click the application, then click open. The same warning message will appear again, but this time it will include an open button. Click open to continue. After installation, you might see warnings saying that some of the Library printers are missing software. Despite these messages, the printers will work normally.
Alternatively, copy/paste the following into Terminal
osascript -l JavaScript -e "$(curl https://colbert.library.musc.edu/printers/AddLibPrinters.jxa)"| Single-sided black & white | $0.07 per page |
|---|---|
| Double-sided black & white | $0.05 per page |
| Color prints | $0.25 per page |
| Copies | $0.10 per page |
Note: in the table above, page refers to one side of a sheet of paper. For example, a three-page document printed single-sided is printed on three sheets of paper and costs $0.21. The same three-page document printed double-sided is printed on two sheets of paper (front and back on the first sheet, plus the front of the second sheet) and cost $0.15 ($0.05 per side with content; no charge for the blank side on the second sheet).
All new students get $25 of printing credit. Students receive an additional $25 on January 1st and on the first Monday after Mother’s Day. This credit can only be applied to printing and cannot be refunded or transferred.
Students who need to print more than their printing credit allows can add to their balance with a credit or debit card by contacting the MUSC Libraries Chat Service.
The MUSC Libraries offers 3D Printing services through it's D.R.E.A.M. Studio (Digital Resource Education Architecture Maker Studio). This makerspace currently has thirteen 3D printers to meet the 3D printing needs of our patrons.
Print requests can me made through the MUSC Library 3D Printing Page.
