[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most likely the copiers are under lease, which is much more financially feasible for school systems than buying sophisticated copiers outright. Unfortunately, though, it means that you're at the mercy of the leasing company for service, and if you're not happy with the service you're getting you're still locked in until your lease is up (because breaking the lease is expensive as well). Service times often vary with pricing tiers, so getting faster service may mean paying more money, which means something else has to be cut from the budget instead to pay for it.[/quote]

At my kid's LCPS school, every teacher had a printer.  No wonder they had great SOL test scores, despite their high FARMs population.  Schools that fail to invest in making their schools run efficiently, do so at their own peril. [/quote]

A printer is different from a copier. You can get a basic printer for well under $100. A school copier is generally going to be a more sophisticated machine that not only can produce copies at a much higher speed than a basic printer does, but also has a variety of collating and binding options. It's substantially more  expensive than a desktop printer.[/quote]

I thought the same thing when I read the PP. We all have printers in our rooms. That's nothing new and really not a big deal. We print to it on occasion for individual items. Most printing is sent to the Ricoh copier/printer/scanner.[/quote]
