jump drive or a CD, an email server can be provided to provision the employees to
mail documents for printing to the secretary. The secretary will view the same from
its computer and do the printing through the colour laser printer. This solves the
printing issue and the concern of the president for not moving the printer to his office.

important documents and back up data for future reference solving the problem of file
backup.
