All library printers are managed by the library, so all issues need to be reported to them in the first instance, for example the toner has run out or there is a paper jam.

Printers, when not in regular use, will go into energy saving mode and it may look like the printer is off or is not working. When you are next to such a  printer, look in the top right corner for a lit up green button, on some printers the light will be blinking. Tap this to wake the printer.
