Instructions on how to save PDF and PowerPoint files to the Desktop or Default Save Location and Print them to Pharos.
Starting at the beginning of fall semester, we have experienced issues with long printing times exceeding 1 minute per page. After an in-depth analysis, we found the issue that is causing these print times to be related to printing PDF and Powerpoint from Chrome (Firefox and Internet Explorer do not cause this effect). The process Chrome uses for printing greatly inflates the file size causing these delays as the printer attempts to decompress the file. The following are instructions regarding how to download and print these files on Windows and Mac operating systems.
If your machine does not have a PDF viewer installed, download and install Adobe Acrobat Reader. All computers in General Access Labs have Adobe Acrobat installed.
