Abstract
Printing expenses in college computing labs have been escalating along with the use of technology in instruction. Commercially available print management software requires a huge initial financial investment with uncertain cost recovery. The outcome usually involves shifting most of the print management software expense to students. Find out how the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater controls their printing costs using open source technology without adding a financial burden to students.
