Enable 1 Alma Print Daemon to Serve Multiple Printers
I am thankful that the Alma Printouts Queue and Print Daemon exists. The free email service bundled with our printers has proven to be unreliable at times.
However it is unfortunate that 1 PC can only run 1 instance of the Print Daemon software. So to map multiple Alma printers to multiple local printers requires running the Daemon on multiple servers.
The enhancement I am requesting is for this software to be able to map multiple Alma printers each to their own separate local printer. For example
- Alma Printer Main Circ Desk -> Local Printer BLDGAFLR2-7
- Alma Printer Rare Book Circ Desk -> Local Printer BLDGBFLR1-3 and so on.
One instance of Printer Daemon serving all our queue to printer mapping.
Thanks,
Mark
