:'''1 GPA, the SoaS pilot school in Boston MA ''' | |||
GPA has the following network printers | |||
Their network printers are : | |||
Xerox Phaser 3400 | |||
Xerox Phaser 3500 | |||
Xerox Phaser 6360DN | |||
HP Laserjet 2100 | |||
Lexmark Optra T520 | |||
Lexmark Optra M410 | |||
Xerox Document Centre 470 | |||
Currently they do not let students print, but since students only use a computer for an hour a week this is not a hardship. As they have students compute more they would like them to be able to print. | |||
I asked them which of the following was their current biggest problem: | |||
1. The printers are too busy, you have to wait for your documents to print out. | |||
2. There is not enough money to buy toner and paper. | |||
3. The printers are too far away, the teachers have to waste time walking to get their printouts. | |||
4. The printing system is too confusing or broken and people can't get their stuff to print on the printer they want to use. | |||
#3 is definitely this schools biggest issue. | |||
We will be collecting used computers for the SoaS project. We could probably easily also get donations of small printers for each classroom and it sounds like they would want that. | |||
