Who do I send an e-mail to when the printer is broken?

If you are using the CSIL printer, email helpdesk.

Why won't the printer print my job?

This can happen for many reasons:

• You haven't got enough cash funds left on your SFU printing account.
• You may have requested the wrong paper size. The printers in CSIL only support Letter size paper, specifying any other size may cause the printer to hang.
• The printer may be out of paper.
• The printer may be jammed.

Please email helpdesk if the printer in CSIL isn't working.
