Remote Printing

Do you need to be able to send a print job from a non-AlumnIQ laptop to one of our print stations? There are a few scenarios when this will be helpful.

Print Station settings

Start at the print station where the print jobs will be sent (usually the one closest to where you are sitting). Make sure the user who is logged into Admin is the one that will be logged in at that station for the duration of check-in. In other words, don’t do this too far in advance; once the print stations are ready to go for check-in, then set up remote printing.

Print station settings

1. In the left-hand navigation bar, click Print settings.
2. Write down the name of the station - it will be an animal-color combo.
3. Change the field ‘Allow others to print here?’ to ‘Yes, open for business.’
4. Change the field ‘Send print jobs to’ to ‘the printer attached here.’
5. Save settings.

Laptop settings

1. Log into Admin.
2. In the left-hand navigation bar, click Print settings.
3. Change the field ‘Send print jobs to’ to the name of the station you wrote down.
4. Save settings.
5. In the left-hand navigation bar under ‘Print settings’ confirm the name under ‘printing to’ is the correct animal-color combo.

Now when you print from your laptop, the job will be sent to the printer you specified. Don’t forget to notify any volunteers assigned to that station that they may see some extra print jobs running!
