[LIBRARYDIR] Computing printing

Thu May 31 13:24:48 PDT 2018

I missed the last piece on non-campus users, sorry.
Again, BC uses papercut. We have only a single stand up computer which has a generic login which prints to the circulation desk. (15 cents per page copied).
[We have 24 open PC computers, 1 stand up/stand-alone catalog unit (no print capacity), 15 macs, and 36 units in our teaching lab.]
We do have a cash drawer, for which we do a daily deposit.
All persons using our single generic login can only print to circ and all must pay for those copies as that unit login is not connected to papercut.
FYI, we probably make less than $1 per day from that printing.

We have a set of 8 computers that the community can use for internet or printing. They have access to printing just like our regular students. We use a very antiquated program called Envisonware that is a print release client. I have been desperately trying to do away with this system and am hopeful the college is going to move towards more of something like papercut where students have money in an account they pull from. Our current printing situation is cash only. The printer has a coin/dollar tower attached and students/community send their print jobs over under a unique code they assign the job, then put coins into the tower and it prints their documents. .05$ for black and white and .50$ for color. We do keep a small cashbox locked up in order to make change if someone has a large bill.

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
