Everyone has an iPad, but agendas and memos are all printed and people are demanding iPads be networked to printers

Release stations - computer near printer, students need to release the job before it actually prints. Papercut is the software, enabes iPad printing as well. Papercut also tracks each individual. Print quota? Could get a refill card, with a code that they can use when their balance runs out.

Also prints from iPads

You do have to include a cost for each print job, school can assign what the “cost” is
