Printing for GC Network ID Holders
Printing from a GC library computer with a GC network ID
When you send a print job from a library computer to the printer, select "double-sided on wp5v" or "single-sided on wp5v" to send the job to a printer on the library 2nd floor.
Then, move to a print release computer near the 2nd floor rest rooms and the library printers. Login as directed to the station with your GC Network ID and select the jobs you would like to print, and click the "print" button. Your selected and "released" jobs will print at the printer assigned the single-digit number matching your release station number.
If it does not work, try again on another print release station. Additional printers are available in department labs.
Report any printer problems to IT Services at itservices@gc.cuny.edu.

Color printing is available for students outside of the library in the DGSC computer lab on the 5th floor.
Guest Printing
Printing for Guests:
Guest printing costs $0.15 per page and requires a copy/print card, which can be purchased from a card vending machine near the Reference Desk. Buy the card with a $1 bill, then re-insert the card to add more value. Cards are reusable but not transferrable to other libraries.
- Printing to the guest printer:
Visitors who are logged in to a library computer with a guest login (available at the Circulation and Reference Desks) may print to the guest printer on the 2nd floor. Report problems with the guest printer to the Reference Desk on the 2nd floor (212-817-7077 or library@gc.cuny.edu).
Instructions: - Log into one of the library computers on the 2nd floor in the areas labeled Center 1, Center 2, or Center 3 (to the east of the printer area) using a guest log in. Computers in other areas of the library are not connected to the guest printer.
- Click <Print> in whatever application you are using. (If the print icon doesn't work, go to File > Print.)
- When shown the printing options, select "Guest Printer" as the printer.
- Go the guest printer to print the print job(s). The guest printer is on the 2nd floor of the library, east of the fancy elevators.
- Insert your copy/print card into the card reader.
- Click <Click Here to Print>.
