Printers

Printing, scanning, and copying requirements vary widely amongst the campus community. Please contact IT&IP for any special requests or printing consultation.

IT&IP recommends the use of large enterprise multi-functional copiers (MFC) to centralize departmental printing needs, reduce operational costs, and standard support, training, and repair activities. Please contact IT&IP for MFC device recommendations and leasing agreement reviews. In general, Xerox and Ricoh models are recommended brands for large-volume multi-feature printing devices.

For smaller office printing needs, please refer to the following list of recommended printers. The printing devices below should be available from various campus resellers, including the CSUBUY portal, the Bronco Bookstore, and other vendors.

IMPORTANT: Printer Support Information

Printer devices that differ from the recommended models listed above or are purchased without the explicit approval of IT&IP will not be supported by the Client Services department. In such cases, IT&IP may only provide a "best effort" approach in supporting non-standard printing equipment. To ensure your printer continues to operate within the campus client standard environment, please consult with IT&IP before purchasing a new printer.
Ink-jet or non-laser printers are non-standard devices and therefore, not supported by IT&IP. Such devices are not typically designed for enterprise environments as well. Therefore, ink-jet and non-laser printers should only be connected to computers via USB cables. Networking cables and campus network ports are not to be used by such non-standard printing devices.
