[OPLINTECH] printer-to-computer ratio

[Mann, James H.]

GCPL ranges from 3 to 20 public computers connected to 1 Xerox color
Phaser printer. We use LPTOne print management software so the job is
not released until it is paid for by the patron so the job just stays in
the queue until it is released and than you only print a few pages at a
time. We had a report from the weekend that a patron printed 100 pages
and tied up the printer, and we sometimes get big print jobs in the
local history room, but 1 printer for 20 computers doesn't seem to be a
problem.

We are planning our new technology area. I was hoping to get
printer-to-computer ratios from other libraries to see what folks have
found to work well for their patron access areas. Thanks.
