2. Was having trouble getting their flash drive to show up on the computer
3. Computer did not have a printer installed on it

7. Printer was printing blank sheets. Again there was another computer that was printing blanks sheets because she had not saved the document after opening it from an email. I believe the computer are having trouble getting going after Thanksgiving break.
8. More printing problems. This time the print assist window would not come up when she was trying to print. I just had her restart the computer and move to another one.
9. More printing fun. Same issue as above.

Love it when the printer server goes down across campus!
