If a print job is placed in the queue and the user does not insert their print card, the job may wait in the print queue until someone else inserts their card. Expecting to receive their print, the second user will be charged for the first user's print, and will not receive their own job. In a network where the print queues always have jobs pending, QView Pro can be a great benefit. To assist in this setup, one can provide a machine equipped with QView Pro near the printers. QView can be configured to place each print job on hold as it enters the print queues.
Users can then unhold their job when they have their print card inserted in the printer.
This will allow everyone's print job to be queued but it eliminates the confusion of who's job is ready to be printed. QView could also be set to remove jobs that are over 15 minutes old. This would keep the print queue clear of old print jobs that users had printed and forgotten about. Student computer labs on a tight budget may want to charge for printing, but might not want to invest in the cost of vending card readers on their printers. QView Pro can also be a useful tool in this situation.
