Printer problems#

Because the CSIT Linux lab printers are managed by ITS, any issues with them need to be reported to their Service Desk. They have staff who can remotely monitor the levels of paper in the trays, toner in the printer and whether or not the printer is reporting a paper jam and send someone out to fix it accordingly.

If this doesn’t happen in a timely manner (within hours) then please contact the Service Desk and report the problem.
