New Image on LC Workstations

Hi all,

As David mentioned Friday, the workstations in the Learning Commons now have a new image that includes Microsoft Office 2007. Here are a few updates related to these new images:
  • Both Print Quota and WolfCopy printing services are available from all iMacs and Shuttle PCs in the Commons
  • All iMacs and Shuttle PCs still point to the Print Quota printers by default (dhl-1102-1 and dhl-1102-2)
  • The WolfCopy printer is now labeled "WolfCopy" when you display the list of available printers
  • Printing from Office 2007 applications like Word and Powerpoint is slightly different. To change printers when inside an Office 2007 application, click on the large multicolored button in the upper-left corner of the screen. A drop-down list will appear - select Print from this list. This step replaces the old path of clicking on "File > Print..."
  • Refworks Write-N-Cite is now available on the Shuttle PCs. Find Write-N-Cite by clicking the Start Button > Programs > Refworks > Write-N-Cite

Here are a few current problems we're experiencing with the new image and are working to resolve:

  • The Flash 7 plugin is not working. This means some content such as YouTube.com videos don't currently play
  • We've found a few workstations that won't allow patrons to login with their Unity credentials. We're placing those workstations out of order as we discover them, and IT is working on a fix

Thanks,

Joe
