I. Check your Default Print Settings
II. Open or navigate to the document to print. You can open a document to print, such as a Word file, or you can navigate to a web page to print. Whichever it is, ensure that whatever you want to print is open and visible on the computer. It is impossible to print if the document to be printed is not open.

2. Printing content from a webpage
3. Choose Correct Printer. From the drop-down menu choose: Bend_casc 102-bw on CascadePrintQ for the black and white printer or Bend_casc 102-cl on CascadePrintQ for color. (Do not assume that the lab computers will always default to the B&W printer.)
4. Change any necessary details. Returning to the print menu, look at the “Settings” box. You will have the option to choose landscape or portrait view, number of copies, single or double side printing, etc. Ensure that the options are set to whatever you desire and match the capabilities of the selected printer.
5. Click Print. Once your settings are to your satisfaction, click "Print."
6. Retrieve Document. Save or keep open the document being printed. Go to the selected printer and retrieve your document. Check to see that it printed correctly. (Since all lab computers print to the same two printers, make sure you have the correct number of pages. It is possible for multiple print jobs to be in the “out” tray at one time.)
7. Save/Close Document. Once the document prints correctly, save and close the document on the computer. (Be sure to save to a flash drive or your Z drive.)
