For patrons who cannot get the Mobility Print app or relevant printer driver to work on their device, basic printing is available by sending your document (in PDF, JPG, or PNG format) as an attachment to rplprint@riponlibrary.org. This will send a single copy of the attached file into our printer queue; no print settings can be changed.
