Why isn't my print job not showing up on the screen?  
When you hit print on your computer, were you prompted to enter a username?

  • If so, and your print request is not appearing in the list on the screen next to the printer, please contact the assistant at the Learning Commons desk or the Circulation desk.
  • If not, you will need to completely shut down the computer you are using and turn it back on (just restarting the machine will not work).

It says my password has expired and I need to change it but, when I try, it says I am not authorized to do that.
Unfortunately it gives the same error message regardless of the problem. Before going to OIS: Make sure the password is at least 6 characters long and isn't one you've used before. You cannot switch between two passwords.
