Printing to the Computer Labs and Libraries from Your Personal Computer
Many of you have used our computer labs and libraries and are familiar with the pay for print system we utilize for printing from Tufts owned computers.
Now students, faculty, and staff can print to the same location
from anywhere ON CAMPUS using your own computers, whether it's a desktop, laptop, Mac, or PC. Installation of
the following packages will allow you to send a print job to the location specified.

Mac Users
Only one Mac package can be installed on your
computer at any time. For example: If you've installed the
Medford Public Queue on your Mac, and you want to switch to using
the Tisch Library Queue on that Mac, you must uninstall the client
first by following these instructions:
- Open the System Preferences and select "Print and Fax."
- Select the printer that you want to remove and click the
minus symbol to remove that printer.
- Close the "Print and Fax" preference window.
- Run the Pharos uninstaller located on your computer in
LIBRARY > APPLICATION SUPPORT>PHAROS>UTILITIES folder.
- Check the box that says PHAROS POPUP and select Continue.
Verify the component to be removed and select Continue again.
- The Pharos client will be uninstalled and the process is
done.
To enable duplex printing on a Mac after installing the
appropriate print software package, please proceed with the
following steps:
(Steps may vary slightly based on version of operating system)
- Open the System Preferences and select "Print and Fax."
- Select the "Medford Public Labs
and Ginn" printer
- Select "Printer Setup" icon
- Select "Driver" tab
- Check the box next to "Duplex Unit" to
enable double sided printing
- Select "OK" and close all
print related windows
- The option to print double-sided should
now be available
