REMEMBER TO HIGHLIGHT THE SELECTION TO BE PRINTED Library Printing The number of printed pages is limited and will be counted. It is the student's responsibility to be aware of how many pages they have to print before hitting the print button. REMEMBER TO HIGHLIGHT THE SELECTION TO BE PRINTED There is suppose to be a limit printing program that Greg was to put on the computers to limit printing to 100 pages a semester. Not sure he did. The copy machine is $.10 a page.
