Wireless Printing...

[HAZEL Margaret E]

We have the same issue of a separate wireless network that Thomas mentioned.  We have not yet found a viable solution.  What we need is something to meet the regular requests of our wireless users, for which we can automatically charge (no staff intervention), and which will not cost 10x the amount we collect for printing.  

Currently, we allow wireless users to transfer standard Office files to a thumb drive, and then use it on one of our Database/Office public computers, which has LPTOne installed to take care of print cost charges.

Cross network wireless printing could be set up based on individual user permissions.  We have it here at Emory, but all of the users on that network are those with registered ids (students, faculty, staff).  Students can print wirelessly in just about every building on campus and then swipe an id or copy card to pay.  Seems to work OK, but our university tech services manages the whole thing so I don't have any stats.    Guest network users cannot print wirelessly.

Our wireless network is segmented from the rest of the City Network that or managed computers are on.  Does anybody have a wireless printing solution that will cross to a different network?

Hi,

We've been using an old desktop printer shared wirelessly off an old XP machine for patrons to print to wirelessly.  How do you manage patron wireless printing?  What hardware is working for you?  What software might you be using?  Do you use either of these?
