I agree with Tanay. some observations though:
1. Viruses for Windows wont affect Linux systems, so if the student is using Linux - no worries. 2. If the Student works on Linux and takes an ODT/ODP/ODS for printing and the printer uses Linux as well, there is no loss of formatting/business. The solution is perfect for campuses but not for generic printer shops (at least not right away). 3. Why take DOC/DOCX/ODT for printing? Why not PDF? No loss of anything over there.. convenient and portable across all platforms.. my 2 cents :) On Sat, Oct 23, 2010 at 9:52 PM, Nandeep Mali <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sat, Oct 23, 2010 at 9:47 PM, pahnin sd <[email protected]> wrote: > [...] > > i think you are wrong > > i donno exactly what to install but installing a plugin will solve the > above > > issue > > No, Tanay is quite right.
