Printing to Wepa From Virtual Workspace, Lab, or Personal Computer

Summary

[Students] You can use the Wepa Windows or MacOS App to print any file type from Virtual Workspace (Student Desktop), Lab Computers or your personal computer. The app installs as a printer and allows you to print by clicking File -> Print and gives you a print preview.

Body

The Windows and MacOS Wepa apps allow you to print from any application without limitation to file types and you can see a print preview to make sure everything is perfect before you print.  It is also the most convenient way to print from lab computers or the Student Desktop on Virtual Workspace.
