TECH: Fooling application printing

[Robert Hiebert <rhiebert@SD6.BC.CA>]

Hello All,

{If you read WEB4LIB, please forgive the cross-posting}

I'm using Library World which will not print labels correctly on a dot
matrix printer -- after printing a label it form feeds as if to the bottom
of an 11" page (instead of just doing nothing to print on the next label in
the roll).  LW support doesn't think this will be fixed any time soon.

I've tried setting the custom page height of my printer to 3" (one label
height) but this does not alter the behaviour.

Does anyone know of a print utility that will "hijack" the print command
from LW and allow me to send it to my printer as a 3" (or whatever) page?

Thanks.

Regards,
Robert

Subject: Combining 2 schools in 1 media center

Our district is combining 2 schools into one building:
        * a K5 elementary Spanish immersion program (640 students)
        * and a 6-8 alternative middle school (760 students) which has a
dual focus of technology and language immersion.
Question: If the combined program has only one media specialist, do you
have advice and/or experience about these issues?
        * combined or separately shelved collections
        * recommended sq.footage to support combined student population of 1400
        * need for separate student work/research areas
        * traffic and scheduling of groups in MC
        * staffing issues for using educational assistants and clerks
effectively
        * other issues we should consider
TIA.
