For those of you that are Fellowship One customers you might be interested in this. We have been working to find a shared printer solution for our checkin machines to allow multiple checkin terminals to print to one printer to cut down on the cost of these pricy little printers. We think we have finally figured out a couple of solutions.
The first is a $250 hardware device from Blackbox that allows up to 4 computers to share the same checkin printer. The second one basically redirects all printer port traffic to another machine across the network. To do this we modified our checkin interface to allow the setup of the network printer that we want to re-direct to. So far so good, but we will continue to do more testing before we release this into production.
Added printer options to interface
