Comment from a student printing to the library printer from the New Media Communications Program Lab: The student mentioned that he/she preferred the old system because it allowed him/her to be at the Library printer when the print job was being released from the printer. This is because it takes a few minutes to go to the library from the New Media Communications Lab and his/her job could get lost and also the student’s privacy is compromised.
A call has been logged to the IT helpdesk to create a new print queue (which would be the same as the existing library print queue, just a different name). This will enable a “hold/release” function on the new print queue. Students in the New Media program will be able to print to that new queue, and then go to the library and release their own print jobs using a web browser.
This will be setup in the Media Arts Production Lab, the New Media Communications class lab, and also the computer lab that these students share.
