Follow-me printing
This is a project funded by Møre og Romsdal fylkeskommune (a county
council on the west coast of Norway) to develop a "follow me" printing
server for their Videregående schools (roughly equivalent to high
school) with the following basic requirements:
* Support Windows (XP and up), OS X, Linux
* Use OpenLDAP (already in place with user objects for all users)
* No domain login required
* GPL Licensed
* No need for N print drivers to support N different printers
* Easy install on end-user stations
The "follow me" part is specified as follows:
1. Student submits a print job to a print server (CUPS) to a
generic print queue (will be named "followme"). These jobs are
held and not printed.
2. Student walks up to a convenient printer and swipes a magnetic
card
3. All the student's print jobs are sent to that printer
