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: FM Audit and other USB discovery devices
I have used FM Audit, Print Audit and @Remote. Neal is right but I think we have spoken about that before. My results have been a bit better with FM Audit than Ricoh's lab testing but I spoke to Mark Pollack (sp?) about the FM Audit test and he told me it consistently missed 60% of the printers on the LAN network. They all have their quirks and they all only give you volumes - not costs. I need good data gathering tools as I do about 12 assessments a month now. I couldn't find anything...

Re: RBS Sales Reps
People will do anything and say anything in this business to win a deal... I like the idea of the news article. Couldn't you also have your reps carry a few pictures of the Savin model next to its corresponding Ricoh model to show they look exactly the same? Or use Buyer's Lab. Glad you still won the deal, even if there was low margins in it. I've never understood why manufacturers have a direct and dealer presence in the same city. I guess they don't care because at the end of the day, they...

Re: RBS Sales Reps
Fisher/Czech This what we've done now: pictures, buyers lab, and the ny times article. They could care less. They asked us to drop our other lines and go back Ricoh only and we told them we would if they will close the RBS branch. Also told them there would be a monetary figure considering how expensive it gets taking on additional lines.
