If these are reasonably high end printers, and they can put a dedicated
computer next to each printer, you could use a pay for print system,
like www.goprint.com to direct the jobs properly, etc.

So the FollowMe concept would be print to a central

user authenticate at the local printer which would
then pull the job down &
print it? Had not thought of that!
Seems just as efficient (in this case) to use VBS to
query user for "what
room#?" and set default printer to match. This could
easily be modified to do
the selecting and another script on the same site can
add all the printers needed.

Only way I can think to do this is using bluetooth
for proximity printing, like how the followme feature
works in asterisk and on misterhouse. I'm surprised
there isn't an available open source alternative for
this. (Google doesn't show much)
