Does Queens Library Hunters Point Provide Printing Services?

Totally — the Hunters Point branch of Queens Library does offer printing services, and I’ve used them more times than I can count for last-minute handouts and zine pages. When I needed to print a run of simple black-and-white flyers, I walked up to one of the public computers, logged in with my library card, and sent the document to the print queue. The branch typically offers black-and-white and color printing, plus photocopying and a scanner. The fees are small — usually around $0.15 per black-and-white page and about $0.50 for color — but I always check the front desk or the library’s website since prices or machines can change.

One practical tip from my experience: save your file as a PDF before you go. PDFs keep layout intact, and the public computers at the branch tend to handle them smoothly. You can print from a library workstation, from a USB stick, or through the library’s wireless/remote printing service if you want to send a job from your phone. There’s usually a print-release station where you confirm and pay for the job before the pages come out, and staff are friendly about helping you if it’s your first time. The scanner there is great for quick digitizing — I often scan pages to email or a USB stick so I don’t have to juggle paper copies.

If you’re planning something bigger, call the branch ahead or check the Queens Library site for current hours and any temporary service changes. I once needed color prints for a small art project and was glad I phoned in the morning; they confirmed the color printer was available and I avoided a wasted trip. Overall, Hunters Point is convenient for casual printing needs, and the staff are usually happy to assist if you get stuck with formatting or the print queue.

Yes — Hunters Point provides printing, and I use it when I’m in a hurry. My go-to routine is to bring a PDF on a USB or upload it from my phone via the library’s wireless printing system, then release the job at the print station when I arrive. There are both black-and-white and color options; costs are modest (black-and-white is typically a few cents per page, color is more), so it’s ideal for a quick handout, boarding pass, or a few photos.

The branch also has a scanner that’s handy for digitizing documents, and the staff will point you to the machine and help with the print release if you’re unsure. If it’s critical — like for an interview or a class assignment — I call ahead to confirm the printer is working and to ask about any special file types. Small tip: bring a little change or a card option if you prefer not to handle coins, and always export to PDF so layout problems don’t surprise you when you pick up your pages.
