Printing at the Hub

This page is a guide for Hub members to use the printer, and purchase a £5 printer card.

The Printer name is: Brother MFC-J6957DW

In order to print, your device will need to be connected to WelshMillHubFibre New WiFi network.

In most cases, if you are connected to the same WiFi network as the printer, your computer should be able to find and print with no problems.

However, if this does not happen, please click here to install the printer drivers to ensure it works smoothly for you. If prompted, please input the printer model as MFC-J6957DW.

Printing cards

A £5 printer card can be purchased from the Edventure’s Hub Host or Operations Lead (cash or card), or online via SumUp using the button below. Each box represents 5 pence worth of printing (costs vary from 5P to 40P — see above)

Once complete, you can either take a fresh £5 printer card from the box by the printer, or if none are there, ask James (james@edventurefrome.org) or Lisa (info@edventurefrome.org) to provide one.
