Good Morning Everyone,
We are a local utility with roughly 80 PCs spread out across a handful of sites. We currently have a few network printers (various brands), but have a much larger number of personal/desktop printers.
I’m currently working to build up a case to get rid of most of the personal printers, and instead use a handful of network printers. So far, I’ve created a spreadsheet that compares the cost of a personal printer to a network printer for a given number of users over a given amount of time. I’ve tried to include as many costs as I can think of (ink, paper, base cost, user time) but would really appriciate any advice from anyone who has already pulled this off (or is currently doing so).
I would even more appriciate any answers folks have to the usual user complaints such as lost productivity, inconvinience, etc.
Thanks,
Casey
