I guess we're considering offering plotters in our campus PC labs,
but we're looking for some ideas or experiences that others have
had with these devices.  At least that's what I think my manager
is interested in based on the following note she sent me:


I'd like to solicit info over the network on the following issue:

Does anyone have a large (C/D) sized plotter available for student
use?  If so, is it in an open lab environment, or is it in a special
area (such as a department or main computer room)?  Who operates it
(the students themselves, paid student staff, full-time staff?)
Is there a charge for its use?  Who provides the supplies and maintenance
needed to run it?  (I'm referring to a plotter used from a PC here,
not a mainframe plotter).
