[Year 12 IPM] RE: [Technical] Printing management software-policies

[Andrew Shortell]

Hi Shane

I have used Gaia and papercut for both printing and internet charging.

 

Both were fine for printing, both add print value by using vouchers
purchased from business manager/ bursar and printed out by IT staff

 

Papercut was superior for internet charging as it updated every 10
minutes, The older version of GAIA only updated once per day, I do not
have recent experience with the latest version of GAIA and internet
charging.

 

Just be careful of the share where the data is held as the encryption
key for gaia is, by default, stored in the data folder...... as students
here found out!

Hi All,

 

I would appreciate some feedback on what other schools are using to
manage there printing costs with students - Software and or policies.
How effective is it and how do you manage student payment.

 

Thanks
