• New Library Printer - The Physics Library has just acquired a new Xerox color laser printer/scanner/copier. It is called xcolor.wustl.edu and is available through the physics network. I have a disc in the library if you want to install the drivers on your office computer. In addition to being able to print to it, you can use it as a color copier and you can also load a document into it and it will email a pdf file directly to the email of your choice. We are still waiting on a cart and large paper tray attachment to it. After they arrive, we will be removing the old color laser printer from the library. If you have any questions, let me know.
