Hi!
I think Andrew has a point here... basically the Faculty that are doing
this are indirectly violating the rules of use by encouraging students to
use the printers as copying machines.
Although, I don't know if there's really anything we can do about it...

Hello,
I simply have a suggestion. Many classes have started moving their class
handouts on-line so that students can print them out on athena. This is
true even for some problem sets. I was just in the fish bowl at 2 am
in the morning and some people are killing savion printing out some
stuff for 5.12 (or is it 5.13). Now I don't know if it is cheaper for
MIT to maintain the printers or the copiers but it seems more reasonable
to me that if a great majority of the class needs the hand out
(ie: problem sets), the instructor should just photocopy it and hand it
out in class. Same thing should be done for class notes, etc.
Has anyone looked into this issue? Also, when are they going to fix the
print quota? I see so much abuse of a precious resource that people seem
to have just taken for granted....

P.S. I guess I am just frustrated by having to run to athena all the time just
to print out my problem sets and encountering printers that are gasping for
its every breath.
