Apologies for cross-posting.
There has been a lot of discussion recently on various lists about
networked laser printer queueing, metering, and cost recovery systems. On a
related topic, could anyone share with me suggestions for securing
unattended public laser printers? We have an HP 5Si MX in our Reference
area and we will be adding an HP 4000TN. We want to keep prying hands out
of the paper trays, away from network and power connections, and we'd like
to require that patrons ask for help unjamming the rare paper jams rather
than doing it themselves. Ideally, although this may be a bit excessive,
we'd like to put the whole printer in a box where patrons could only get
access to the output tray.
Any suggestions or contact information for companies that build such a
contraption would be appreciated.
Thanks.
