Hi Brenda,
If your admins want to allow printing through their Windows print
servers from non-domain clients (ex: student personal machines) they
could just enable the local Guest account on the printing server, the
problem is you can't do any accounting.... not sure if you need that.
That or just give instructions to the students on how to do direct IP
printing right to the printers... again, it might end being the wild
west with no accounting or authorization in place. The nice thing about
the Windows print server is it easily takes care of downloading and
installing the appropriate 32 bit or 64 bit driver to the end user's
machine.
We use Equitrac and it is kind of "meh".... I'm not a huge fan. For us,
we are looking to give the Equitrac client software to the students so
they can print since we require authentication and next Fall we will be
implementing pay-for-print (fun!)
