Hi
all,
 
We have a laptop
requirement program and have turned our large lab back into a classroom as
almost no one was using it. That leaves one small (12 PC) library lab for
student use. While our building isn't huge, it does sprawl and the library is on
the far end of the building. It's not convenient for quickly printing an outline
prior to class, for example.
 
We provide students
with instructions on how to connect to our networked printers and their file
share via the wireless network (managed by main campus computing) and it
works flawlessly for half the students. The others simply cannot connect. We've
done extensive troubleshooting and have had the main campus experts here to
double-check our work but they can't figure it out either.
 
So, now I need to
determine how to provide those students with network printing. We do charge for
printing (they get 600-pages/year free) so I can't allow straight IP printing
and still track it (at least, I don't know how we'd do that). I thought about
putting a couple of computers in strategic areas around the law school;
they could quickly log on and print from a USB key. That's all I could come up
with. Anyone have suggestions?
 
Thanks,
Cyndi
