[LIBRARYDIR] Community printing - resending with new subject line

[Bem, Greg]

We (LWTech) also have the Papercut system. There are two printers in the library and multiple throughout campus, which all run on the same network (meaning any computer on campus can print to the server and the job can be loaded at any of these printers, within or outside of the library). Students get $5/quarter that stacks over time (so if they don't use it all, they can spend it in the following quarter). If they want additional credit, they go to the bookstore and can buy credit vouchers. Employees have accounts tied to their departments with their own budgets.

For the public, the library has vouchers for small dollar amounts ($1) that can be given out. We don't get enough requests from the public to justify a more complex system/process than that.

Hello all,

If you have community using your computers, how do you provide printing?  We have been selling printer points in the Library but we won't be able to keep our cash register/cash fund after this quarter so we are trying to come up with alternatives.  We can send them to the cashier, but they are not open the same hours as the Library so this will mainly impact those coming in during evening and weekend hours.  We have a generic printing account so we may be able to use this, but would need to set up some parameters so people don't take advantage of this.  If you have protocols for a generic account, those would be useful also.

Thanks,
Erica
