Weeks Copiers - Printing

Information on how to setup and configure the Geoscience Weeks Hall Copiers/Printers.
The copiers are named weeks_copier1 and weeks_copier2. They are basically identical (minor differences in stapling capabilities) and both allow for color printing and copying.

You need to be connected to the Geoscience wireless network or the Geoscience Ethernet wired network in order to complete the installation and print.
