How Do I . . .  : Wireless

Wireless Printing

Print to Tempe Public Library Printers from your Wireless Computer!

Visitors using the Library tempecafe wireless network inside the Tempe Public Library building can connect to the Library’s public printing system. Printouts can be sent to our in-house printers, and pages can be printed for the same charge that applies to our in-house computers:

  • $.20 per page for black and white prints
  • $.75 per page for color prints.

System Requirements:

To use the Library’s print system, a small application must be downloaded and installed on your computer. Your computer will need to meet these specifications:

  • Windows XP or Vista operating system
  • At least 3 MB of available disk space

At this time only devices running Microsoft Windows operating systems are supported by our wireless print system. Development is currently underway for support of Macintosh systems.

Download and Install the Print Client:

Instructions are written for Internet Explorer users. Other web browsers may be different.

  • Click here to begin.  
    This link will work only if you are already connected to the tempecafe network.  
    It will launch an auto-installer and you will see this warning: Do you want to run or save this file?”
    At this point you can choose either “Run” or “Save.”
    • If you are a regular visitor to the Library, you may wish to save the program to your computer and re-launch it on future visits.
    • Otherwise, just choose “Run.”
  • You will next be asked to verify that you wish to install the print software.
    • At this point choose “Run.”
    • Once you install the print software a print client program named “LPT: One Print Client” will appear on your taskbar, and two “virtual” Library printers (Black & White and Color) will appear in your printer list.
  • Selecting either printer at the time of printing will open a dialog box asking you to enter a User ID. 
    • Your User ID can be any name, number, or word which you will remember when you go to the release station to print your jobs.
  • After you enter a User ID you will get a dialog box detailing the cost of your printout. 
  • Retrieve your print job at the print release station near the Reference Desk on the main floor of the Library.
  • When you choose “Stop Print Client” or shut down your computer, the print software will automatically be removed from your computer.
