Re: MPS and Linux HELP!
So some clarification first. PaperCut absolutely does support Mac. In fact, it is the only cost recovery/print control solution that I know of that actually installs in an all Mac environment. (Server and Client) It also is the only solution I know of that installs in a Linux environment. So both of your issues are solved with PaperCut. I included the install guides for Mac and Linux to get you started.

Re: Samsung Says Offer for Sharp’s Photocopier Unit Rejected

Re: Email from Canon P4P'er "Ricoh Direct Pricing"
Hey, I agree, but when you see that type of pricing without competition, what is everyone to think??? I've seen new wide format fully loaded at 8K, and MP C5000's that were reselling at 2% above dmap 6. If I may be so bold, I truly believe that the head honchos have no clue what's going on in the street, plus even if they did they have no way of stopping it.

Re: Can you say Katana????
Well... A couple of good things about Katanas: They were considered the "Souls of the Samurai". While the Samurai had many weapons, including bows and spears, all of them carried a Katana as well. Katanas were once a major export product for Japan, with over 200,000 a year being sent to other asian countries. A bad thing: A Samurai would only draw his katana as a last resort, doing so "Bared his soul", so he would use all other available weapons first. One thing we don't have to worry about:...

Re: The Transition of the Copier Industry "Part III"
Art, So you’re saying you used eQuill with eWriter to process your sales paper work? To this day, are you still doing it that way?

Re: The Transition of the Copier Industry "Part III"
Hey Jeff No, we did not use the eQuill/eWriter. I thought we should have put this to good use for our sales team. The usage of the eQuill in the field would have enable many conversations about how we use it, how we set the system up, and what was our back end process. It was an opportunity to break out of that commodity role. Thanx for the reply and questions!

Re: Ricoh Introduces Wide Format Color Scanner for Rapid and Accurate Scanning
$6,500 list..... $5,600 LDP, once you put a MU on it, your sales cost is higher than the MSRP, what the %$#& are they thinking. Realistically, they messed up so bad by not having a color scan option with the new 2400 and 3600 (and nothing forseeable for the next 16 months), that they had to resort to this scanner from Contex. Plus the fact you need a dedicated PC, Touch Screen and the system needs to have a W2400, 2470, W3600 or 480 on the network in order to make this work.
