Copier/Printer Request

• Network Printer:
  • A network printer is the recommended method of printing for UCCS.  Network printers give your department the best reliability, accessibility and have the least expensive cost per print.   
    
  • Network printers require an available network port in the room they are being placed.  We can help you determine if your office has available network ports.   
    
  • If you already have a network capable printer that you would like to setup, please fill out ourCopier/Printer Request form.
  • If you need a new printer we have compiled a list of recommended printers.  
    

• Personal Printer:
  • Personal printers are very convenient and practical; however, they also have the most expensive cost per page printed. 
    
  • If you need assistance with the setup of a personal printer, please contact the Help Desk and we will assist you with setup.
  • If you wish to purchase a personal printer please refer to our list of recommended printers.
