Step 2:  Choose a document to be printed, select "Print" and the print dialog box appears. After you determine the details of your print job and click "OK" the print job will be held by the print management system (LionPrints) until you have a chance to review the print job and determine if you want to send the job to the printer or delete the job.  The document will not be printed until you authorize it for release to the printer.

 It is our hope that this process will give students the opportunity to choose to reduce printing waste.  This helps save money which in turn allows the Student Technology Fee dollars to be used more effectively.  The alternative is watching the money being thrown away in overflowing trash cans.
