Sorry, you miss read that. Scanners and speakers are not part of the Dii/F package but you might be able to get them from the catalogue.
Given the increasing use of CBT and other material that needs sound and colour printing then you could argue that you need it. You have Powerpoint but no means of getting imagery into it.
Is it right that you have to use your home computer and then email it to work?
As for colour printing, it is not one each. Plebs get the b&w laser and have to use the colour on a network basis. If you are lucky it is in the same building. For RAF CCIS we got one for the whole station. Naturally I had it installed near my desk. Very handy for colour posters
