    Oh, Wendie,

    What a hassle this has been at our library. We have a pay for
    printing system set up here. They NEVER got it working with the
    plotter. It was using an automated card reader system sending jobs
    through a print queue, which meant people had to swipe their card.
    The plotter finally broke and so it's not an issue anymore!!
