Pharos Updates Spring 2013

As a reminder, the law school will continue to use the Pharos print client this semester.

• The new installers now support Windows 8 clients. 

• Due to updates applied to Pharos over the break, students should now ensure they have the "Law Print Queue" installed and not "ITS Print Service."  Law students still printing to the "ITS Print Service" will be charged once they reach their quota of 500 sheets for the semester.

Find updated installers and learn more here.

     • NYU Wi-Fi access 
     • Pharos printing
