Rice University offers a variety of printing services for students. This post will briefly cover the locations of printers, copiers, and scanners for academia and student activities on campus.
Printing
Mudd Lab
Commonly used and convenient printers (b/w network) are located on the ground floor in Mudd Lab, Fondren Library, the Digital Media Center (DMC), and in the computer labs of residential colleges, as well as other departmental labs.
Special printers for larger print jobs are available as well. Mudd Lab houses plotters for large posters, as well as thesis paper printers and color printers. Outside Mudd Lab, students can also find plotters at the DMC and color printing in Fondren, or at the Student Organization Resource Space in the basement of the RMC if they have an access code and wish to print materials for clubs.
In addition to using campus computers to print, students can also print from their personal laptops and computers. System-specific instructions for Mac, Ubuntu, and Windows are listed on the Rice KnowledgeBase website.
Photocopying
In order to photocopy documents, students will need to obtain a copy card at the vending machine on the ground floor of Fondren. There is at least one copier on every floor from the basement to the fourth, and their exact locations can be found here.
Scanning
Scanners can be found in Mudd Lab and on the first and third floors in Fondren. Scanners at these locations may be used at no cost, and documents can be saved to USB, Google Drive, or Email in PDF, Word, JPG, or HTML formats.
Printing Charges
Different charges are associated with different types of printing jobs, and these amounts are directly sent to Pay My Bill on Esther. Some printing locations like the plotter at the DMC are not a part of the Rice network and will require payment at the counter.
