This page answers common questions about printing at Pitts. Most computers in Pitts Theology Library are connected to the EaglePrint printing system (exceptions are lookup terminals on the first and second floor). These printers are located on the first floor of the library, at the bottom of the main stairs, and on the second floor, near the Information Commons computers. You can also print to this system using a laptop.
