Instead we networked all the photocopiers (colour A3 etc) via our Novell network. It is hard to beat the price per copy or their economy of scale. Available from all desktops. Art staff can also access to a large format Epson printer .. very nice for A1 printouts :-)<br>

Hi everyone,<br><br>I'm currently trying to decide on new printers for our Junior School.<br><br>To date we have had a colour bubble jet printer in each classroom for<br>these reasons:<br>- Students can remain supervised while colleting print jobs<br>
- Cheap to purchase (but possibly not so in the long run)<br><br>These are just usb printers, shared from an XP Pro client machine<br>(introducing some more unreliability).<br><br>Now we have more computers in each classroom than before (so we are<br>
exceeding the limit of 10 connections into XP in some cases), and where<br>we have tried using usb to network print boxes, these have also proven<br>unreliable.<br><br>So my thinking was to go with networked laser printers but shared<br>
between a few classrooms - specifically Fuji Xerox C2100 or Lexmark C510<br>(we have an old one we could allocate).<br><br>I'm interested in how you setup your Junior class rooms and which<br>printers you use, and how often you have problems?<br>
<br>Many thanks,<br><br>Paul Williamson<br>Huntingtower School<br>Mt Waverley, Victoria<br><br>_______________________________________________<br><a href="http://www.edulists.com.au">http://www.edulists.com.au</a> - FAQ, resources, subscribe, unsubscribe<br>
