Printing to
the NCPL wireless printer:
In order to print to the NCPL wireless printer, you must first install
the printer. Then when you go to print your document, make
sure to select our printer from the printer list: "Officejet Pro 8000
A809". Black and white copies from the wireless printer are .15 a page,
and color copies are .30 a page.
If the page you are printing has any color on it, you must select
"grayscale" from the print menu (Click on preferences, then the
features tab, and select "print in grayscale" from the color options
section. Select "black ink only" from the pull-down menu and click OK
to apply the changes) or we will have to charge you for a color copy!
