Nothing to do with Google Cloud Print being killed off, honest guv!

Nothing to see here, please move along and enjoy Mobility Print :-)

We've been using Mobility Print since it was first released (we are a PaperCut NG customer) and I have to say it's an amazing piece of software. So easy to set up too. Our BYOD students and stuff wouldn't be without it.

Great bit of software!

Am I right in thinking that there's no accounting with this and therefore no way to restrict printing?

Yes, you'd need to have PaperCut NG or MF as well to do that part.

Ah ok, so we run PaperCut MF here, so that will then sort out printing accounts and charging on BYOD as well then?

Yes. The Mobility Print was already something you could install anyway with MF. This just makes that part free for everyone else.

does anyone know how this works if your copier has codes on it and you try to print from say a chromebook? does it ask for codes or does the printjob just disappear into the ether?

[bald_pig]

If you use account selection at the client end, you will need to bypass that for mobility print. Chromebooks should prompt for credentials when printing.

Anyone know if this can be used with say Equitrac (as a replacement for EveryonePrint)? From memory Everyoneprint connects via a LPR print queue so accounting etc still works. I have 12 months to go before I can switch to paper cut...
