Had to use 3rd party software to activate this rotation because UB disable changing display privileges by default.

    Here are some tricks that I have learnt during my years of studying in University at Buffalo.

    Some tricks needs to be verified since the Windows 7 Upgrade.

    Printing Tips

    1. Avoid printing during peak hours (print turnaround > 1hr)
      During peak hours, consultant have tendency to mess up sorting just to keep up with the printers.
    2. Release multiple print jobs at the same time.
      Releasing multiple jobs at the same time will lower the chances of loosing printouts.
    3. Count/check your print jobs.
      Count to see if you have missing print jobs or may have held someone else’s print job.
    4. Printing PDF documents.
      Some PDF files are pain in the ass to print. I found “Print as Image” in Adobe Printing Preference helps a lot.

    Printing Hints/Tricks

    1. You can send printout from one computing site to another computing site (e.g. Capen to Lockwood)
      Hint: Adding the right printer through Internet Explorer.
    2. You can sent printouts to one particular printer
      Hint: Adding the right printer through Internet Explorer.
    3. You can cut the printing queue by sending to another print server (e.g. iPrint Anywhere server has short queue.)
      Hint: Adding the right printer through Internet Explorer.
    4. You can release print jobs from the computers in the hallway.
      Hint: You need the iPrint URL

    Computing Sites Hints/Tricks

    1. You can disable the 15 minutes timer on Express Stations
      Hint: Task Manager
    2. You can use Remote Desktop
      Hint: Command Prompt

    Home Computing Tips

    1. You can access your S: Drive from home.

    2. Off Campus VPN
      Step 1 & 2 @ http://blog.zynine.com/2010/09/ub-iprint-anywhere-from-homeoff-campus/
    3. Printing from home/off-campus (iPrint Anywhere) (Requires UBVPN)

    University at Buffalo Police are investigating the death of 19-year-old freshman student Jonah Dreskin of Ardsley, N.Y. Jonah was found on Core Rd. on UB’s North Campus around midnight. The cause of death is undetermined at this time. UB Police say Jonah may have been hit by a vehicle or fallen from a residence hall between 11:30 p.m. and midnight.

    “We are all extremely saddened by the news of the death of UB undergraduate Jonah Dreskin,” said UB President John B. Simpson. “As we continue to look into the circumstances of this tragedy, we are with Jonah’s family, and have reached out to students on campus, to provide any comfort and assistance we can.”

    University Counseling Services will be offering counseling to students today.
