Greetings to all -
We are in the midst of deploying Papercut as a new "pay for print" system. We've had our own system in place for about 12 years, and it served us well but has shown its age. And now the major requirement for Papercut is to support "student-owned laptop printing", where they can print from their own machines.
We chose Papercut, and so far I love the flexibility it offers. Now I am at the choice of WHICH printers I have the students install on their machines. We want to make the install process as easy as possible, thus are CONSIDERING developing our own installer for configuring an IPP connection and installing the Papercut client. Novell's iPrint will be the back-end server, but we cannot use the iPrint client to deliver drivers on student laptops.
For those of you who have student-owned laptop printing, have any of you written your own installer to make the process easier? Any pitfalls along the way?
Thanks LOADS for anything you can pass along.
