Our campus uses a copycard system to pay for laser printing.  The reader is
attached to the printer itself; and in my lab, there are two stations
attached to the printer.  The DOS/Windows station is attached with a parallel
cable, and the Mac station via the Novell network (the printer is a Laserjet
4M).  It works fine.  This is one printer for 32 machines, with two
networked dot matrix printers for the 16 DOS machines.  The beauty of the
system, which may be particular to our setup, is that we do nothing but feed
paper and kill the paper jams (most of them are not true jams but are so
reported if someone tries to print without first inserting their copycard in
the reader), because our library does the setup, maintains the machines,
provides the paper and toner, and collects all the fees (10 cents per page)
by selling the cards.
