----------------------------Original message----------------------------
I am still in quest of printing recharge information.  Thanks to all who
have responded so far.  A new wrinkle in the scene...a vendor (Xerox) is
proposing to provide a solution for us using our "one-card" system which is
produced by Griffen Technologies.  The software that they want to use is
called (or is produced by) Lynx 5000.  Has anyone heard of this or have it
implemented?

They are proposing that print jobs be directed to print stations in the
labs and be selected by the students via a touch screen and then released
by swiping their "one-card"  It doesn't sound like a bad idea, but I would
just love to hear that it is actually working somewhere already.  With the
upgrade to Netware 4.1 and WIN95 already happening this summer I am not
really anxious to be on the bleeding edge with this.

Thanks!

Mary
