So, if you're printing a 200-page report, you have to
be near the printer during the whole print time? What an
appalling waste! (Or, do you have to "merely" interrupt
what you're doing long enough to be near the printer as it
starts printing your output?)
I suspect that this was done to try to improve
security. I also suspect that it will have the opposite
effect. People will leave their ID cards on the printer or
give them to someone else. ("Hey, Dave, since you're going
to the printer, take my ID and bring back my output, too.")
Please tell me if I'm wrong in any of my
assumptions. This is one case where I'd prefer to find out
I'm wrong. Maybe you're each getting your own printer in
your own cubicle, so it's not a problem?
