PIN-Protected Printing
-
The high-mucky-mucks want people to provide a PIN when printing. Binging (I don't like Googling) shows me how to do it on the desktop on a per-job basis, but we have like 400 printers in the network and they want every one of them to require the user to enter a pin at the printer before the job prints. Semi-easy, right? But they don't want the user to set up a PIN for each job, they want them to have to use their SmartCard at the printer to kick off the job, i.e. it doesn't start until they are physically at the printer. (Basically, they'd have to "log in" via AD for the job to print.) Is this possible to configure at the Print Server? Or will we have to configure each printer to require it (like it already does for scanning)?

Usually you make an inventory of what is possible, instead of making it up and checking if it is at all feasible.

We use a solution from Nuance (NSI) called Output Manager to achieve exactly this, for a similar number of MFPs. We optioned it as part of our MFP contract, it might be worthwhile talking to whomever handles the printer contracting to see if you have access to a tool like that as a part of the contract itself. If you guys use Scan to Folder, you might already have a tool that can be configured for this purpose.

I wish. I think they're crazy not to have the printers under contract, like every sensible organization in the world. But NOooooo. Not contracted; just bought.
