Are there printing companies that will donate their services to non-profits?
Q. I am a PR intern for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and my fellow interns and I are looking for printing companies that will donate their services. We are non-profit, so it's tax deductible. I know it's tough times financially these days, but any donations or discounts would go such a long way! Thanks in advance.

A. If a company "donates" printing to your organization it might NOT be able to write off from tax the cost of the material, due to certain caps on "donations"; while instead if the company trow away in the garbage the same amount of material that is tax deductable as a miscellaneous cost. So STOP begging for stuff under the premises that you work for a non-profit and the abused and overused Tax write off line. Find donors willing to sponsor the job, and use that money to pay for the printing. Or find a printing company owner who believes in your cause and might be willing to give you a break. Now, your company is a pretty good company, you guys print a lot of stuff, why don't you go to your regular printing company to whom you've paid a lot… [cont.]

How do I print to a Konica 7145 copier with network printing?
Q. Hi, we recently got a Konica 7145 copier that has network printing capabilities and supports IPP. We have a small P2P network. I have tried repeatedly to get it to print over the network without success. I can ping the copier's IP just fine. I am able to access the web utility so I know that I can connect to the copier via TCP/IP. IPP is enabled. Any ideas are appreciated! Richard, I downloaded both PCL and PostScript drivers from the Konica/Minolta website. I have tried both drivers on mulitple workstations. I have tried printing using both LPR and sending raw data via TCP ports 9100, 5500, and 10001. I have tried printing to the spooler and directly. Everything has failed so far. UPDATE: I just added a second network printer… [cont.]

A. Hi, Your best bet is use the PCL driver if you dont know if you have postscript installed. Open the printer properties, click the "PORTS" tab, click "ADD PORT", double click "Standard tcp/IP".New window opens, then click "NEXT", enter IP address of the copier, click "NEXT", on next page ignore everything and click "NEXT" again, click "FINISH" window will close and you will see the small "Printer ports" window again, click"CLOSE", click "Configure port", in the protocol box click"LPR"in the "Lpr settings" the "Queue name" is "PORT1", also click the "Lpr byte counting" box, then click "OK" window will close, on original properties window click "APPLY". You should be ready to print now.

How to keep students from printing on Windows and Microsoft Office?
Q. Hi, I work in a high school library and in the interest of saving paper I was wondering if there was a way to block students from printing until they get permission from the Library staff. For instance, is there a way that when a student goes to print a paper either online or on Microsoft Word that a screen pops up and says to get permission from the administrator or something comparable to this. I basically would like if the students couldn't print until we approved it. Thanks. .

A. Well, there's two ways to go about this. First would be to have the printer attached to only one computer, which you control, so the student would have to bring their document to that computer to print. This has the advantage of being relatively cheap to implement but can be a hassle for the students. The other method would be to install some kind of print manager software onto all the printers so you can control the printing via software. In this latter method, after the student "prints" you would have to "release" the print job before the printer would actually print anything.
