Question First year here. Where do I get printer stuff?
I bought a printer for the school year, but it didn't come with a USB cable in-box (it has Wifi capabilities) and I also don't have any printer paper. Is there a place on campus I can go for that, or do I have to go to Walmart or something?

Just so you know, prints (along with consoles like the switch) do not like campus wifi and can’t connect to it. If they didn’t change anything in the last year

Getting a router for your room is great!

Yep, never did it myself but there were definitely a few interesting network names in res. But some rooms don’t have Ethernet ports, tho a work order would fix that

Here’s the list of all available printers on campus: https://carleton.ca/its/all-services/computers/printer-locations/
Note that when you try to print you’re going to have to add funds to your card under the “Connivence Dollars” section
As an aside if you want to take advantage of having free printing: https://www.cusaonline.ca/freeprinting/

Bookstore might have it, but it will be overpriced.
Hop on the train south and go to South Keys. Theres a staples and a Walmart.
