This is a great feature of some of those network printers which can be a a huge perk but is rarely used. How many times have you needed to print that payroll spreadsheet and ran to the copy room so nobody was able to see the print out or bought local printers for everyone so they could print securely? Well did you know that many of the network printers have the ability to hold print jobs and only allow them to be printed by entering a security code on the printer itself? This means you just print to the network printer, enter a code to hold the document then when your ready you go to the printer, enter the security code and out come your print jobs.
