[K12OSN] About printing

[John P. Conlon]

Unfortunately this particular teacher doesn't know post script from post 
office so there is no intention to face her with any kind of script.  We 
have descided that she will make them use the header function in the OO 
word processor and then she will dock their grade X number of points for 
each wasted page.  Thanks for the thoughts though.
Bye
