Printing

We don't have an official printer for our group. However, Greg Hidley, whose desk is across from Philip's desk, thankfully offered us to use his printer, the big color Laserjet 3800dtn next to his desk, for occasional use. Please do not use this printer for personal print jobs.

Please don't run big jobs on it like printing out user manuals, etc. Printing an occasional publication of 10-20 pages is okay. Also, if you don't need color, please force the printer to print in grayscale. This printer can be accessed through its IP address which is posted on the printer.

Please do not use any other printers in the building without explicit permission.
