Linux printing
I met with the OUS team this week and we decided to setup banner printers on our own local server and share our printers with OUS using the CUPS software. We setup a few test printers and OUS was able to browse our printers. I did a test landscape page and it printed successfully. Now I'm working with our unix admins to see if we can use PCL drivers instead of Postscript. We have several job submissions that have embedded PCL code so we really need PCL to work.

NCAA grad rates
This week I've been working on the NCAA graduation rate report. I loaded the cohorts into two tables (NCAA_GSR_2005_CHRT - for all the first time freshman,NCAA_GSR_2005_ATHL - for first time freshman athletes). All of the data has been loaded into the grad rate site. The only item left to do is checking whether a student athlete left while eligible to compete. I'll need help from Health & PE to finish this part since this data is not in Banner.

New Job Submission - FZPFEED
I created a new job submission called FZPFEED. This job runs FURFEED and FGRTRNI. It'll be used as a cron so that transactions posted from FUPLOAD are loaded into the finance system.

Linux printing update
I did some linux printer testing this week and I think the landscape printing issues we are having has to do with how the printer was configured in linux. When I do a lpoptions on our printers, it returns an error "Unable to get PPD file". For printers that print landscape correctly, this command returns a list of available options for that printer. I think once we get our printers setup correctly, it should fix the landscape problem we're experiencing.
