<p>Should we (upcoming freshman) bother bringing a printer? Is it convinent or a hassle? Can we print somewhere else for free and save money on ink?</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure you can print things for free at the libraries.</p>
<p>i brought my black and white lazer jet - it was perfect, I could print off loads of thick readings and case studies in minutes for free. Printing at Cornell is 10 cents a page.</p>
<p>Well, I'm glad that's cleared up :rolleyes:. </p>
<p>If it really is 10cents a page...that sucks, and ill really have to bring one. Can someone else back-up one of these claims.</p>
<p>O, my bad.</p>
<p>I could have sworn the tour guide said it was no problem to print off reports at the library.</p>
<p>it's 10 cents a page on netprint, but ILRies get like 20 something dollars worth of free printing because we're awesome.</p>
<p>yeah, I would recommend bringing your own printer. Like Spanks said tho, ILRies (and some other majors) get NetPrint accounts of about $21 and that should last the whole semester. If not there are computer labs around campus, some are free and some aren't.</p>
<p>If you have a lazer printer, you should definitely bring it. If you have an inkjet printer, I don't think you save much if at all.</p>
<p>If you work in a lab, there is usually a printer that you can use for free. Bringing a printer is definitely a good idea.</p>
<p>It's a good idea to bring a printer, especially if you plan on doing a lot of work in your room. Using NetPrint at the library isn't so bad, but I find it to be a hassle.</p>
<p>ILRies do get like $20 of printer...and printing is 10 cents a page though you can save by printing on both sides! (convenient for large readings one has to print out for class)...</p>
<p>i say bring a printer if you already have it...you will be doing lots of printing...WRITING SEMINARS FTW?</p>
<p>Cornell is cheap, and yes bring your printer</p>
<p>I'll be buying a new printer once in Ithaca, so I was thinking... is it better to have a black-white laser one than a color inkjet? How often do we need to print "colorful" stuff?</p>
<p>get the black and white lazer - I've never needed color. If I did, I could always print at one of the libraries (there's an upcharge for color), but I've still never needed the color feature once. </p>
<p>You'll likely be printing off alot of readings and stuff, lazer lets you print off in quantity very fast w/o wasting expensive ink. Ten times more helpful than any color.</p>
<p>i agree with gomestar, you'll be needing to print sometimes up to 30pgs at a time!</p>
<p>I agree, a laser printer probably would be a good idea.</p>
