Jeppesen Charts training
I've got some new guys starting initial/indoc dispatcher training and I used to have a jeppesen cd-rom that was a great refresher tool for charts and plates.
I've lost it and have been on the Jepp website looking for some info on how to get another one but there doesnt seem to be anything. Does anyone know where I might get another copy of this?
And yes I know the legends etc are in the manual, I want something I can put on a projector.
All the best.

Jepp printing
ON the same but different subject.
When down route and access to JeppView on a laptop, but no printer, how do you print your charts.
I have tried printing to a PDF module, and then putting this on a USB card, then opening on the hotel computer and printing there.
Is there a better way, for example has Mr J realised this problem, and put an option in its print engine.
thanks

Printing from Jeppview
I also print to a PDF converter. This is the only way that will pretty much always work. If you want to be more adventurous here are a couple of things that might work depending on the hotel:
1. Some hotels advertise a printer on the network. If so, you could use your Printers/Add printer feature to connect to it and print directly over the hotel network.
2, Most (but not all) printers are either PCL or Postscript. If you install a generic PCL (HP) printer driver, for example, and don't use any fancy features (such as duplex printing), you might be able to unplug the local printer from your notebook and plug it into your computer. This is iffy since there are som many combinations so I wouldn't depend on it.
3. (This requires extended access to the hotel computer and I wouldn't really recommend it since if anything goes wrong it could mess up one of your JeppView licenses) You could install Jeppview on the hotel computer (disk space permitting), activate it, updateit, print your charts, and then deactivate it (removing your license). JeppView includes a number of licenses (I believe 3) partly to support the idea of needing additional computers to use as an EFB or print computer. Of course we JV users know that it takes forever to update the charts and the potential for something going wrong and permenently consuming one of your licenses would make me think this option isn't very workable.
All-in-all, I don't think the PDF route is very cumbersome and it should always work. I've settled for that and while I have the extra step of moving the files from my computer to the hotel system, I don't really have to worry about all of the other possible variables.
