Re: [iss] Printer software

We use Papercut http://www.papercut.com/. Each student gets $5:00 at the
beginning of each year and at semester. They log into a print server to
release a print job. It works for us. Students can add money to their
account as well as transfer funds among themselves. We have administrative
rights and can adjust accounts and release print jobs. Our paper use has
gone down about 75%.
