Thinking only slightly out of the box here, if you're going to have new printers and the team setting them up refuses to give you their IP addresses for whatever reason(s) -- I'd certainly like to understand more about why -- would it make sense to e-mail print jobs as PDFs to end users? That might save paper anyway since a lot of printouts really don't need to be printed out. It's also quite likely to provide some user productivity benefits since, for example, it's very easy to perform keyword searches on PDFs. And it could be quite handy indeed for customer service applications to, say, e-mail a PDF to a customer with a quotation or electronic copy of an order.
