We are currently using PrinterOn with print release stations in the
library and our large color MFP. I'm evaluating Pharos and UniFlow
which will provide a "follow me" print feature allowing the student to
retrieve their job from any printer.=20

Our current system allows students to print to 50 network printers
across campus with a single print driver (hot spot printing). The print
release stations do a great job reducing waste and jobs not retrieved in
24 hours are purged from the queue.

Subject: Print Queue Managers

Hello,

I was wondering what other schools are using for print queue managers.

Idea Setup:
Student send a print job from their computer. Student walks over to a
console nearby the printer. Student validates print job and waits for
print
outs.

What is happening now:
Student send print jobs. Sometimes students forget they made a print
out.
Lots of wasted paper from uncollected print outs.

Thank you for your input.
