New kiosk solution takes aim at printer waste

April 24, 2005

The Tartan Online: Last year, one cluster printer user printed 15,960 pages in two months, according to data collected by Carnegie Mellon Computing Services as part of a rigorous analysis of the university's printing system. "That's about three 50-pound cases of paper," said Mike Kelleher, Clusters Field Consultant.

Cluster Services is aiming to solve such problems and is nearing the end of a two-year project of renovating the printing regime at CMU.
