Student Printing

Below are links to configure your laptop for printing to the Printer Lab printers using the Pcounter system. The printers are all located in the south computer lab (printer lab) Room 131. You must have access to our wireless network and have your UNL-AD account activated before configuring the printers.

Students are given 600 pages at the beginning of each semester.  Each page after that is $.10.  The current account balance is at the top of the printing website, http://law-print.  A number in paranthesis indicates a negative balance.  Any account with a balance at or below zero will not be able to print.  To purchase more pages, the money machine is located outside the printer lab next to the public access computers across from the reference desk.  There are instructions in front of the money machine.

Please remember to discard your used cover sheets in the recycle bins.

***All print jobs from laptops are paused  until you visit the website to release it, http://law-print.
