 If you need help or if you run into any problems with the poster printer - please notify Zach E. and Jon H. via the issues at astronomy.nmsu.edu email alias.
-**PLEASE NOTE** - Even though the printer poster is working, and we have been able to successfully do several prints, please do not wait till the last minute to print your poster! The poster printer usually only gets used in bursts (near end of the semester and right before AAS!), as such its always possible that a problem has manifested over this time without us knowing. Additionally, replacement ink and printheads are not sold in local stores and can only be purchased online. While I have some backup ink, there is always the possibility of requiring an order which would take 2-3+ days.
