[Publib] Public printing

[Robert L. Balliot]

Peter/ Bruce,

A mere 50% reduction in use of staff curmudgeons can improve
employee moral, help make America safe for democracy, 
and preserve the environment by helping to eliminate 
on site greenhouse gas emissions.

Print management software would be the best solution.   Since you rule that
out.  Reduce the number of free copies from 20 to 0.  Charge them for
everything they print.  Providing printing of computer files or pictures is
no different from providing a photocopier.  Both cost the library money and
neither is what this old curmudgeon of a  librarian regards as an essential
service.
