One thing I wanted to iterate, that is of great importance to IT managers is print queuing speed in networks. While the university here is biting off more than they can chew, they will have an immense problem once pay for print begins. These folks are only looking at the financial end of things, and not time in system for users. Without a cap on number of pages allowed to be printed, or kind of documents, I see servers getting bogged down to a virtual halt, while images are being rasterized, huge PowerPoint presentations are being printed, and other stuff downloaded from the Internet. Without printing constraints, my cartridges now only last for 2700 copies, not 5000 as were intended. Long lines of customers waiting for their print jobs will occur, many customers will leave jobs unclaimed as they leave in haste.”
