The setup was similar at my college. I'm not sure if the printers were open to the whole world, but I do know that with a little savvy (and I mean a little) you could use any printer on the campus network. While other students were flooding the library 10 minutes before class to print their assignment, I would print them out from my dorm room to an empty office on the same floor as the classroom, and just swing by to pick it up on my way to class.

I was also very tempted to just spam a bunch of gibberish to the printer on the network labeled "Presidents Office", but decided that might raise a few red flags.
