Hi,
My name is Matt Guyton and I am a resident of Ashdown House. Due to the
large number of residents (total 360) who use the printers, they often
break down. We would like to have a 2nd printer to use as a backup.
We have one Athena printer. We also had our own extra Tektronix printer
that was part of a contract with Xerox. That contract has expired.
Because the printer was a lemon (always broken), we will not renew that
contract.
However, now we only have one printer. Would it be possible for us to get
a 2nd one, so that we aren't printerless when the one breaks?
Our Athena printer broke down about a month ago and residents have been
pretty upset about it. I'm not sure when hotline/Athena was informed, but
it was over a week ago (I realize that this is a busy time of the year).
In conclusion, we would really benefit from an additional printer to avoid
these disruptions in service.
Thank you for considering my request,
Matt Guyton
Ashdown House
