Super exciting news!  Your library now has two black and white printers and two color printers.  Two important things to remember:  to print in color, you MUST choose SECURE_PRINT_COLOR.  Also, once you scan your badge at a reader, the print job is gone, even if it doesn’t print.  So if you scan your badge at a printer that isn’t printing for some reason, like if it is out of paper, you’ll need to print it again before scanning your badge at a printer that is working.  (8/20, 8/22, 8/24) – C. Milloway
