We will have the "web print" functionality available as well. But given the number of students we have, I have concerns about the amount of time it will take for web print to process jobs. We often have between 25 and 50 people simultaneously printing jobs across six different campuses. Forcing all these students into web print is a HUGE unknown for me.
I also believe the students would prefer to have the "normal" print procedure.
Have you been using web print with success?
