Main Report or Narrative:

Monday, I looked to see which of our printers have network cards.  We only have one printer set up as a network printer, but we got a few HP 2500s (color laser printers) with network cards, and (only) some of those cards seem to work.  Apparently the networked printer did something unsatisfactory (like was nowhere to be found on the network) last week, and Ms. Johnson's confidence in the printer was shaken, so she wanted to know if we could try replacing the network card if it does that again...  It appears that we can.  I also looked at the printer in the library and found that its shared identity was not being "installed" on every user account; this seemed problematic.

Wednesday was TechKnow; the students finished putting together all of their computers.  Next week they will start loading software (Windows; they haven't received Office yet).

On Friday I looked at someone's (personal) computer for a while...  Apparently they were worried because it had viruses on it.  I would not be at all surprised if that were the case, but it was so unconscionably slow that I didn't really stick around to see of that was the case.  I left it virus scanning after spending &gt;a half hour opening the virus scan software it had on it.  After I semi-abandoned that project, I showed some sixth-grade students how to use the scanner.  For their Rites of Passage presentations, they need to put pictures into a PowerPoint presentation, and Ms. Johnson wanted a few students to be able to do it (and maybe show other students?).  Finally, I tried using printer scripts to get all of the users on the library computers to recognize the printer.  Unfortunately, it didn't work--it said that non administrative users didn't have the privileges to read and execute the script, and the solution I tried (adding "everyone" to the list of users allowed to read and execute the script) appeared ineffective ("everyone" just disappeared from the list after I tried to log in as another user).  If anyone know's what I'm doing wrong, please tell me--Thanks!
