Printers are always a challenge because they have many moving parts and receive heavy use.
We currently have about 7 different models which function differently. Basic hardware provided by the Bren School is determined by the Computing Resource Committee and the budget. Users are welcome to purchase upgraded equipment, but should consult with the computing team before doing so to make sure it will work with their system and be supported by us. I think we have a fine computing support group. My only gripe is that the laptop I am supposed to use while I travel is useless because I can't get a dial up connection from it.
