The folks in IT have been busy behind the scenes reviewing the suggestions that came in from you all on how to help eliminate printing documents to the wrong printer and they have agreed on the best solution………..
From now on our networked printers will all be set up so that you will have to release your print job by manually selecting it on the touchscreen of the printer.
If there are a number of print jobs in the queue, each one will be identified by your individual username. By selecting the username, the job will start to print.
This will not prevent someone actually sending a document to the wrong printer, but it will stop documents being printed out in the wrong location, as the individual will realise their error when they go to their local printer to release it and find it’s not on the list.
We had four suggestions sent in proposing that users could release print jobs by entering a PIN. These were the closest solutions to the one IT have decided to implement, so we put the names in a hat and picked out Sinead McCabe from Irish Sprinkler as the winner.
