Re: Printer software

Basically it holds the print job until the UniFlow controller releases
the print job to the printer the user is logged in from.
The UniFlow controller does the magic (I believed Pharos uses the same
model).

How does a student print to a single queue and then go to any of the
five printers and get the document from the queue? Maybe this is
obvious to others, but I have no idea how that would work.

Thanks,

St. Agnes Academy uses Canon Uniflow for print routing. The software
allows the user to print to one print queue and retrieve the document
from any UniFlow device on campus. It also allows our users the ability
to have copy/scan jobs automatically sent to their email. =20

We moved our students from hot spot printing that managed one queue to
any of our 60 printers. Today the students have 5 multifunction
printers they retrieve documents from with no problems, long lines or
wasted paper from misprints. (900 users use the UniFlow service)

Please forgive the cross posting. =20

My IT person is suggesting that we look into software that would help
control the amount of unnecessary printing. I'm guessing this works by
one person controlling which jobs would go through to the printer,
thereby letting us delete the 2nd, 3rd , 4th and so on copies that
sometimes come through the printers and then are left.=20

Do you any of you have this kind of software? How does it work, are you
happy with it, can you recommend what you use now?

=20

Also - do you charge for printing? Currently, we do not charge for
printing, but do charge (via copy card) for photocopies.

=20

And one more query - do any of you have a set up where the print jobs go
directly to the photocopy machine, thereby not even having printers.

I appreciate any information you can send my way! =20

Thanks for your time,

Barbara
