Departmental Computers

iSchool departmental computers should have the following 4 Ricoh Multifunction Printers (MFPs) appear automatically.  If you're a Mac user and do not see these printers on your system, please refer to LAITS' guide on resetting your printers on a Mac (note: your LAITS Self-Service package is called Info Printers).  If you don't see them on a Windows computer, please reach out to the IT team for support: help@iSchool.utexas.edu
