At some time or another, we must all print something out. The ODU CS Department provides printers for both student and faculty use. To use these printers on a personal computer, or if you don't see them listed on a lab computer, you must map them.

Once you click connect, your computer will begin installing drivers in order for you to use the printer. Once everything has been installed, you will now be able to print from the printer.
