I just wanted to get a feel for how many priters other networks have.
We have many…too many in my opinion. 2/3 of people have a printer on thier desk and most users would have at least 2 within two metres of their desk. Not to mention 2 big copiers either side of the office that scan, copy, fax and print in colour. (IMO they alone are enough to cater for most users’ needs)
In an office of about 30 users I think we have gone overboard. I’d like to be rid of them – the older ones are starting to break and causing me headaches. As much as I’d like to, there’s no way in hell I can take them off the users now.
They were purchased by someone who would just spend money needlessly. When one user saw that another had thier own printer they would ask and bang! they have a new printer on thier desk too. Now that I am incharge I can’t tell users to stop being lazy and walk to the large copier/printer to get their printed documents.
What do you think? Are there too many and if so is there any way I can lose these liabilities? Are your user’s legs painted on too?
