Hi,
Printers have been a major problem for us at BF Day. Sharing the levy
machines with the CWS has caused freezing problems on the teacher
workstations (CWS), so we tried connecting the CWS with a USB cable to
the printer. Then, using the parallel cable from the same printer, a
levy computer is hooked up (but not shared with the CWS). Then, if there
are more levy machines in the room, the first levy machines share with
the rest of the levy machines.
It seems too simple and inexpensive to work, but so far it's been fine.
Let me know if it works for you.
Then, all we have to do is to convince classroom teachers to NOT print
too often in color.
Thanks,

Hi All,
First, thanks very much to those who shared their experiences on the new
teacher workstation (cws) rollout - both on and off list. Your
information was very helpful. Now I'd like to ask another question....
Is it possible to connect those new machines (win2000, seattleschools
domain) with shared printers on a local domain? I've asked several
people lately who thought there "just might be a way to do that", but
they didn't know the details. Just to be clear, I'm not talking about a
networked printer, like one using a jet-direct card. I'm talking about
connecting to a shared printer which is hooked up to a computer (win98)
on a local domain.
I'm quite well aware this practice is being frowned on. I just want to
know, once and for all, yes or no, if it is possible - and of course,
how to do it :) Thanks in advance for an answer, one way or the other.
- Mark
ps - there are plenty of other related issues to discuss here, I know.
stay tuned :)
