WestlawNext and Printing

Westlaw has introduced a new search engine called WestlawNext.    It has many useful new features, however, free printing is not available through WestlawNext. To print to the Westlaw printers, you must go through the Westlaw interface (not WestlawNext) or use the “Find and Print” option.   Do not use the shortcuts on the www.lawschool.westlaw.com homepage.
