ISG News has posted a new item, 'Status of printing, one week later'
Now that the dust has settled a bit, we would like to give a status update after the print server migration. Somewhat contrary to popular belief, the overall situation with printing has improved quite a lot. Most combinations of operating systems, client programs, file formats and printers work very well, with two notable exceptions:
Macs: printing PDFs from non-Adobe programs on Xerox Phaser printers (and only those) fails. We're working on a solution. Either use Adobe Reader/Acrobat or print on any other printer Macs: the LPD way of printing (readme) currently does not work. Again, we're working on it. Use CUPS in the meantime.
As a reminder, please let us know immediately if apart from the above-mentioned cases you still experience printing issues.
