[OPLINTECH] Wireless printing

[Phil Shirley via OPLINTECH]

We offer the wireless printing from Windows and Mac laptops through the 
SPOT software from Librarica (we also have CASSIE), but it gets used 
very little. We supply a batch file for Windows and a script for Mac to 
load drivers from a share, but apparently patrons often encounter 
obstacles to adding our printers. In a way I'm not surprised, because 
adding a printer to your computer is not completely simple.

Could anyone share their experience with SPOT or any other wireless 
printing, and does anyone have any suggestions on making SPOT easier to 
use?

If nothing else, I'd be interested to know (1) do you offer wireless 
printing to the public, (2) if so, how -- do you use SPOT or something 
else, and (3) does it get much use?

I've also heard of a product that lets patrons print by uploading a 
document to a web server. That's interesting, and I'm going to look into it.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Phil
