Cloud Printing from Chromebooks

[Ros Lee]

We are using GAFE and PaperCut at our school.  We have a number of Chromebooks and want to set up cloud printing for students.  I am wondering how other schools are managing colour printing from Chromebooks.  I gather we would have to set colour as the printer default.  I don't want to do that.    

Thanks

Papercut does integrate with GCP  and has:

1. print quotas http://www.papercut.com/tour/print-quotas/

2. print tracking http://www.papercut.com/tour/track-printing/

expensive printers can be put in the hold/release que

I've not done this myself, but it does look like it might meet your needs.

Scenario C – we have this as a “Follow Me” print queue with Papercut. Not just for expensive printers but also for laptops that are likely to roam more. Instead of trying to ensure the job goes to the right printer – send it to FollowMe then the student (or staff member) swipes their card to release the print job on the printer. Jobs left overnight get deleted – if a student has not collected their job by the end of the day almost certainly they will never collect it.

They say it is still in development. During these holidays I am working on two deployments - one with Papercut and one without.
