speakercon Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 I have installed the trial version of Papervut NG on a new VM and installed a few printers and enabled hold/release on them. I have imported staff and student groups and set the staff group to be allowed to release any job (charged to their account). The idea is, students send their work to print and which ever teacher releases the job it gets charged to their department. At the moment all jobs are sent to the main 'Jobs pending release' page on the GUI and all jobs from all printers show for all teachers. I'm wondering if there is a way to create separate queues for different printers, so teachers can select the printer of the room they are in and see just the jobs for that printer as its getting a little confusing as we have about 15 printers on the go. Or any advise on how you make it work would be great! Thanks
Frugal Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 You can filter your print job by pressing the filter button just tick the printers you want to see. Is this what you mean?
speakercon Posted November 30, 2017 Author Posted November 30, 2017 That looks perfect! However, there doesn't seem to be that option on our release page: Do you know if it's an option somewhere to display it?
Frugal Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Looks like you’ve got a newer version than me. I don’t know if there’s a section that allows users turn filters on and off check servername/admin check filter and restrictions on the user your logged in as there might be an option on there
speakercon Posted December 1, 2017 Author Posted December 1, 2017 Turns out the filter option only shows when an admin is logged in. So I have made all staff admins and removed all other permissions except for pause/release and now the filter option is showing which is perfect!
