rckngslnd Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Hi We seem to have way too many printers in are school that are all different, e have 122 in different classroom, some network and some not, what anyone else like
featured_spectre Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 One MFD for all staff to use (we did have 22 printers darted around but this was cheaper for us) A cheque printer A colour laser in admin office for letters and letter headed paper etc A colour inkjet in head and deputy head office. Total of 5. If staff bring their own in, I don't support it, or install it or buy ink.
glennda Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 to many! About 6 photocopiers and then around 40 further printers.
Soulfish Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 About 45-50 printers (various colour lasers, mono lasers and inkjet printers - most are now Ricohs on a cost per page scheme) and 3 Ricoh photocopiers.
RobJohnson Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 errr.... over 200! But looking to move to centralised printing hopefully for classrooms with only a few standalone lan printers for admin areas etc.
gl3nnym Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Near on 200 printers, mostly Brothers. Too many imo.
localzuk Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 About 20 here. Majority of printing is done on centralised large copiers, and then if deptartments want their own printer they can pay for one from their own budgets. The admin team have a few, as they're spread out across a few different offices.
witch Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 One Networked printer for each year group. One in the library, dep heads and heads office, and two in admin office
Arthur Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 We have... Nine networked Canon MFDs for student and staff use around the school. Everyone has a PIN code to release print jobs, but plan to move to contactless smartcards in the future. All print jobs get automatically deleted from the server if they are not released within 24 hours. Three HP printers (two mono lasers and an A3 inkjet) One Epson A3 inkjet used (very rarely) in Art.
timbo343 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 ive just been asked to do this task today and we have about 68. About 30 are locally installed
6Foot2 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 About 50 network queues [from memory without logging onto the print server] mostly mono, a few colour laser, ink-jets and three networked photocopiers.
ReverentCreature Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 I have wittled down the number of printers that we have here. We have: 4 networked corridor printers serving 20 classrooms. 3 in the office area 5 printers in 5 offices locally installed 3 printers in other areas 15 printers for a school with 450 children and 50 staff.
Disease Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 We have around 110 mixed local and network, I am looking to consolidate these down to around 30, giving each department a B&W and Colour Laser, the rest staying in Admin sections.
zag Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 We only have a single HP 2015 in each department office. Its networked and staff can print to it depending on what location they log into. Works well.
broc Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 9x networked Toshiba A3 Colour MFD, 10x HP network printers in admin offices or ICT suites(mostly mono) & a handful of mono laser printers locally attached in SMT offices. Down from over 50 network printers and 10 local printers 2 months ago. Only a handful of toner types to order now... bliss....
mcnallyfc Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 We currently have 116 printers which are mixture of network and local and 7 of which are MFDs. We had a print audit recently which gave us these figures and our new plan is to increase the MFDs to 21 (inc utilising some of the newer network printers in our maintenance contract) and remove all local printers. We will then get papercut installed and manage all the printing in the school. Figures show this could save us 75k a year.
