U3 brand USB mass storage devices have issues mounting drives on the CAL computers. The fix for this is to plug in your flashdrive *before* you even log in. When you log in the drive should be mounted correctly under My Computer. If you are still having issues with this please let the CAL-staff know. Thanks!

Lost and Found

Fri, 08 Jun 2007 14:35:25 GMT

The Cal-Staff find a vast amount of USB Mass Storage Devices (AKA thumbdrives, memory sticks, jump drives, or flash drives) as well as a plethora of other “things”. If you have lost something this quarter please come and talk to the CAL-Staff. For your USB Mass Storage Devices we recommend that you create a word document with your contact information and name it “If found…”. It would help us out a lot as well as ensure that they are returned to their right owner promptly. Thank you CAL-Users!

Welcome Back! ~Introduction to GoPrint~

Tue, 01 Apr 2008 16:39:22 GMT

This quarter we are introducing a new way of printing. The program is called GoPrint and it should help us reduce the amount of wasted paper the CAL generates. The following is how to use Go Print:

Print your document like normal from the computer.

Go to the GoPrint station and find your log in name on the screen and press it.

Select the print job you would like to print by touching it, make sure the page amount is what you were expecting.

Press continue.

Press Pay and Print. (Don’t worry, there is no charge for printing!)

To discard a print job, select Discard and Confirm Discard.

GoPrint acts as a filter: No longer should we have hundreds of abandoned documents every month because nothing will be printed without confirmation at the GoPrint Station. If everyone will take the few extra seconds to verify the page length before printing we can eliminate those 50+ pages of excel and website documents that can be misleading on the actual length.

This first couple of weeks we are working on getting rid of all the kinks so if you experience an error message please tell the CAL staff. We are also receiving two new *HP9050dn laser printers*. We hope that the combination of these two new developments will make your printing here at Scientific Computing go smoothly and greenly.
