Total hours for week: 4

The School: Reavis

Kind of Work: Tech general

Main Report or Narrative: On Tuesday I did general up keep on the lab which consisted of a quick check to see if the computers were working. There were the usual "problems" which were monitors weren't plugged in etc. After that a teacher told me the newly installed printer wasn't working which just turned out to be that the paper was missing in the printer. Which brings me to the point of that I should set up a time for a meeting with Mr. Khelghati to figure out a time to inform someone of how to fix these simple problems so that problems like this don't delay kids from doing their work. I then proceeded to work on trying to set up the printer in the east ward of building. I tried to get the reavis maintenance report to recognize the computer on the Instr domain(which on Thursday it showed that it was). I continued to try and change certain settings so that a computer in another room would be able to connect to that printer in room 103. However, this didn't work. BUT on Thursday I experienced (a miracle?) something strange. I decided to download internet explorer 8 just in the hopes that if I had a continual connection with the wireless access point that the other computers would also be able to connect to the computer that was connected to the printer. And much to my surprise that  worked! I don't know if it was some kind of fluke but from that point onwards that day I could print to that Lexmark printer in room 103. Also on Thursday another "problem" with the printer in the lab was that there was a paper jam and so no one could print to it. I fixed the paper jam and then had to proceed to put the Lexmark printer to the "online" status  on each of the computers that setup to print to it.
