==== How Groovix handles printing ====
For print service, Groovix uses the Linux print service CUPS; CUPS queues each print job pending a release from staff through the [[Groovix Print]] web interface. Although typically installed on a local Groovix [[Reservation Station]], CUPS can be installed on any local Groovix workstation. Once installed, each local Groovix workstation is then configured through the [[Groovix Menu]] where an IP address and printer driver are registered; these instructions can be found below. 

The Groovix print service can be configured to charge a fee per-page with flexibility for free pages and can even distinguish separate costs for black & white or color printers. When a patron sends a print job, they are presented a confirmation dialog box to confirm both the page count and cost before being processed and queued. It is also possible to configure the workstation to process the print job locally before sending to the Groovix print queue; this is recommended for locations with high print traffic or locations where color photo printing is used.
