+=== Do A&D lab computers require the same campus wide user credentials as the Poly Portal? ===
No. A&D lab computers are a seperate, stand-alone system, so everyone must have an Art & Design account that is unrelated to their Poly Portal account.

+=== How do I get an A&D user account setup for using the lab computers? ===
Come see the A&D tech (Matt Corippo) in room 160A, across from the main computer lab to create an account. Once the account is setup, you can access lab computers, scanners, and printers.

+'''• The Computer Lab:''' Room 150. It has classes taught in it as well, so check the schedule (posted by the door) before entering.

+
+=== What are my printing options? ===
+
+A&D has both color laser printers primarily for graphics work, and inkjet printers that are best for photographic work:
+
+'''• Laser printers:''' Low cost, fast, prints on bright white standard weight (24 lb.) paper that is included in the cost of the prints. You can print from any lab computer to any laser printer, so choose the destination carefully.
+
+[code]Although it is possible to print to different paper, the printer configuration must be changed, varies widely by printer model, and it is not practical for students to do this themselves. See the the computer tech if you have questions.[/code]
+
+'''• Inkjet printers:''' Higher cost per page, slow, and students supply their own paper. High quality color and image detail. Inkjets can handle many different types and weights of printing media, from plain to enhanced to photographic paper.
+
+[code]You can only print from the lab computer that is directly attached to an inkjet printer, so additional time must be factored in to planning in case their is a queue at the printer. Don't wait until the last minute; you will likely find too many students wrangling for the printer you need.[/code]
+
+=== How do I buy A&D print credit to use lab printers? ===
You can buy print credit on line. Use [guide|2|this guide] for the process. Once purchased, the printing software (PaperCut) will show you a live balance on your user desktop.
-== Can I print from my own computer/device? ==
+== Student (non-Lab) Computer Questions ==
+
+=== Can I connect to the A&D server when I am off campus, or from other parts of campus? ===
+
+Yes. There is a specific process that is required. Follow [guide|3|this guide] to see your A&D lab account home directory, or to upload/download to your Instructor's accounts.
+
+=== Can I print from my own computer/device? ===
No. At some point in the future we may add this ability, but our current systems can only print from lab computers using Art & Design specific user accounts.
