Thank you to everyone who responded to my question about wireless printing. A summary of the responses follows: WIRELESS PRINTING RESPONSES *VENDOR* *LIBRARY* *OTHER COMMENTS* Princh Caro District Library https://princh.com/ Princh St Charles DL Princh Lapeer District Library https://princh.com/library-printing-solution/#.Xii_FchKiUk Princh Ruth Hughes It can be used as an app version on phones/tablets, or a web version on laptops/desktops. Our IT technician worked with Princh to connect it with our main printer, and patrons can send jobs at any time, which then sit in a queue at a staff computer or circulation computer until a member of staff release it. We have signs posted all over the building with the 'printer ID' and QR code and basic instructions, so patrons can use it on their own, and it is fairly straightforward once you download and open the app. I believe it can be set up with cards (I assume debit/credit) but we have it set to only be paid by cash (or check if it came to that) upon release at our front desk, like the rest of our prints/copies. In my experience it is easy to use and reliable-the only tricky bit is we seem to have some difficulty printing certain types of documents such as bank statements or legal forms, which we assume has something to do with encryption and compatibility. We are looking into that. Envisionware CADL supposed to be able to just attach the document to an email, send it to a provided address that differs depending on branch location and b/w or color, and then use the email they sent it from in place of their library card number, which is normally what the print jobs are tied to. So in theory, pretty easy. In practice, it’s very unreliable. Sometimes it works like a charm. Other times it doesn’t show for 10-15 minutes. Still other times it snags somewhere in the process that only IT could see and address and basically never arrive. Envisionware Ferndale Area DL Print e-mail Loutit Patrons are able to forward their prints to that email, and we print it for them. mConsole Bad Axe patrons can search for the associated printer in their phones and send to print. mConsole Ionia Community mConsole (Library Gear) White Lake We have "Library Gear" from mConsole in Sanilac as our public internet time management and print management service, and they set it up so anyone connected to our wifi can send a job to the printer. It still goes through the print management software, so they have to come to the desk to pay for it before we release it to the printer. Canon App Hudson Carnegie Patrons download app Library’s wi-fi Wakefield 1)Connect their phone to the library wi-fi 2)Open the label or document they want to print (usually but not always an attachment to an email. Some people print pictures from their phone) 3)Select the appropriate printer on the list of available printers and hit print ePrintit Jonesville DL It works as a cloud portal. We have it set up where patrons can go to our website and drop-and-drag their document to the portal and send it to us (this can be done on a laptop in the library or from their home computers) OR they can forward the item to be printed from an email to our portal (mainly for cell phones). Then, we open our portal, click the print button and the item to be printed is pulled from the cloud and sent to our printer. Library public computers T.A. Cutler Memorial we just encourage our patrons to sign on to a public access computer and print directly from there Printer On Chesterfield Twp. Printer On Charlevoix Public [App] The print job is sent wirelessly to the printer, then retrieved at the print station. Patrons can also print from home using it. Printer On Grosse Pointe We use a service called Printer On. It is quite intuitive, and hasn’t required a lot of staff assistance. We are lucky enough to have an IT person who set it all up. Here is a link to their site: https://www.printeron.com/mobile-printing.html HP Printer app Saranac Public set up on your public wifi, patrons can download the HP Smart app and print. This app is super easy to use if you have an iphone and not easy to use if you have an android! Margaret Bentley Adult Services Librarian Shiawassee District Library--Owosso 502 W.
