Advice- Printing Application

Baruch college currently allows most, if not all of its undergraduate students to print each semester for a few of $100 paid on their tuition. Most kids are unaware of this benefit and sometime fail to utilize it all semester long. Others are always constantly printing and depend on the printers at Baruch to get assignments in. Since many students are always on the go and sometimes remember they need to print a paper the day its due, Baruch should create an application for smartphones that allow individuals to drag things they need to print from emails, google docs, and more into the application. After uploading the document via smartphone or laptop onto the application, the student would simply approach the printer scan a barcode that would pop up on their smartphone upon request to print and their work would be there in seconds. The application would allow for students to keep tracking of their printing, reload their accounts with money, and upload documents from their device. In most case students don't have time to wait for the computers to start up, if they have access to their work through emails or Google docs, they can print within seconds and not be late to class. In my opinion, this allows students to utilize the printing abilities at Baruch, given the fact that they are paying for it. Most students refuse to use the printing capabilities because of how time consuming it is and how complicated it can be. This is a way to simplify the printing process and also to help the students succeed more.
