One of the first things we check is the driver level. I'm not so sure
about the BIOS, however. They can, and do, print OK with wired ports but much of our
new addition doesn't have many available.

Do
the student keep their wireless drivers updated?  This is usually the
problem.  We also have a laptop requirement and have very few problems with
students printing over the wireless.  What few problems we find are usually
corrected by updating the wireless drivers and sometimes the computer’s
bios.  We also have the advantage of having numerous wired connections all
thru the library.  The students have the option of connecting to any of the
open wired connections for network access.  Are there open wired ports for
the students to use?  If not adding some may be an option.

TeknoidsSubject: [teknoids] Student laptop printing via
wireless
 

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
