Does anyone have a solution for separating relatively slow vs. fast print
jobs, or alternatively, small vs. large print jobs in their residential
technology labs?
Here at Indiana U., we have labs that range in size from a few to several
dozen computers. Each lab is equipped with usually a single HP LaserJet
Printer (typically an 8000 series). Although we manage total print volume
through student print quotas, a typical sore point with students is that
someone sends a 300-page job to the printer, or sends a Powerpoint document
with HUGE graphics, which forces everyone else's jobs to queue up for 20
minutes while the big job finishes. We have considered putting 2 printers in
the larger labs to offload the work of a single printer, but we have little
expectation that students will cooperate to the point of sending small jobs
to one printer and large jobs to another. So we are looking for some
technology to do that automatically. In other words, we're looking for some
software that will preview the size of a print job and send it to the
appropriate print queue based on size (or speed???). One more piece of data
- we currently use Uniprint to do the accounting, so it would have to work
with Uniprint. Does anyone have a solution like this?
Thanks in advance,
