Sometimes you may find that when you send a PowerPoint file to the printers, it does not show up in your print queue. Here are a couple of things you can try/check to ensure your file reaches the printers:
-
Make sure that you are correctly logged in to the computer you are printing from. Do this by clicking on the Start menu and then clicking the user icon.
-
If the PowerPoint is a large file containing many images, it can take a few minutes to reach the printers. Be sure you have waited at least 10 minutes before checking the printer if this is the case.
-
Print a partial range of slides instead of the entire file. Example: if the entire print job is 20 pages, only print 5 pages at a time.
-
If the file does not show up in your printer queue, you can try changing the file type to a PDF by using Save As and picking a PDF file type. Then resend it (this will typically work).
-
If you are opening a PowerPoint file from your class files, save it to the computer first, and then open it to print from there.
