Ribbons?  We have one laser printer in our library and the toner
cartridges come from our school technology budget.  Paper comes from the
schoolwide supply budget.  However, we don't have heavy Internet
printing because most searching is done in our labs.  I have heard
teachers complaining that the resource teacher is hassling them for
their heavy use of printer cartridges.

I think I'll make the point at our next staff meeting that the library's
reusable resources should be accessed first before wasting funds on
printing in the labs!
