This page is dedicated to the printers in the MOST lab that are used for production. Due to the number of people we have going in and out of the group and room, and the volume of printing we need, it is important to keep a log of what breaks, and what is fixed with each printer.
Instructions
- Add yourself to the list of users on each printer you intend on using for a sustained period of time
- When something breaks log it with the date, and what broke. If you don't know exactly what broke make a good guess.
- Ensure that once the problem has been fixed you add fixed at the end of the problem summary and change the status of the printer
- Do not remove information just because you fixed it. Keeping old information will help to document recurring problems.
