Hi, Art

Regarding this portion of your feedback, all we can say is that the 
user interface provided by IBM has any number of usability and other 
issues. In order to get this project out of delivery, we've pushed 
GUI improvements onto a list of follow-on work and hope to make many 
improvements including those you've suggested below.

Note that with some luck, first-time users of this service will start at
http://web.mit.edu/is/help/printing/central - where they will get 
some orientation to the service and clarification of their 
eligibility as well as a pointer to the CHD.

On behalf of the delivery team, we thank you for your observations.

Mary Ellen
