<strong><span style="font-weight: normal"><strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Printers,  Helping Teacher</span></strong>

<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>Printers have been the bane of my existence (or its sole purpose, depending on how you look at it) at Canter so far this year. I think I have finally gotten them sorted out so that every teacher can print somewhere- if not a printer in their room, then at least to the lab from their classroom computer. A summary of the remaining problems:
<ul>
	<li>There is no computer in 301. Ms. Banks said if they didn't have a computer it meant they had found another way to do attendance (I'm guessing with a personal laptop) and not to worry about it.</li>
	<li>Mr. Fishbein's  (306) computer won't recognize that he has a full ink cartridge-I've looked at it and told him I can't figure out what's wrong (his computer will print to the lab, however)</li>
	<li>The printer in 307 has a faulty cord, but seems to be functional otherwise. I've scrounged around in the lab and hall closets, but there seems to be a perpetual shortage of printer cables, despite the large number of broken printers lying around.</li>
</ul>
I also helped a specialist (I think she was a psychologist) connect to the wireless at Canter- she works at a number of schools and has a CPS laptop, but didn't have the right SSID and password for Canter (for some reason Canter is still on the old non-school-specific CPSWIRELESS).

In other news, Dr. Conlan and Mr. Lewis came into the lab discussing what to do with the computers. They asked me which ones were even worth keeping, and I said that all the ones with XP are decent enough and certainly better than nothing. (I can't say I'd be sad to see the W2K machines go.)  It seems they are planning a revamp of sorts, something they probably will/should talk about with a CUIPer other than me.
