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 check by 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.
As always, if you need assistance, please see one of the Library Techs at the Library Desk or call the student help desk at 920-498-6900!
