We are pleased to announce the pilot test of a new print server for
students. In an attempt to increase reliability we are moving to the
commercial version of cups called ESP Print Pro (www.easysw.com).
Setup for the new server will be very similar to the old server, but
will unfortunately requires everyone to reinstall the printer(s). Use of
the Adobe postscript drivers  on windows machines will be mandatory for
this new server. Official instructions should be posted on help.cwru.edu
soon. If you decided to use the pilot server, the help desk will NOT be
able to help you with any problems you have. They will simply direct you
to printing-problems@technicalsupport.cwru.edu.

Please let others know about this pilot. We encourage everone to try it
and give us feedback on how it works. If this pilot goes well, we will
remove the old server and replace it with this new one at the start of
the school year.
