:'''Use Cases '''
:'''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.
