Printing from Mac OS 10.6 and iPad

JohnMember VIP

Does anyone know or can you help me with a few Mac questions?
I have a couple of MPC5501 units installed at a tech center which houses start up companies and some of the companies have brought Mac's with them and need to print to the MPC5501.
I know we need Postscript 3 cards but the questions is can they do "locked print" with the PS driver?
All of the PC's that are there have been defaulted to "lock print" for confidentiality but I just am not sure when printing from the Mac's.
Also, is there a way to print from an iPad other than Hotspot?
Lastly, we have noticed that on some of the PC's when printing from Internet Explorer, the jobs are not getting sent to "locked print" even though the driver is defaulted for it and passing right through to output on the exit tray.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I do not believe the MAC PS drivers support locked print, however if you need this, a good work around is Print Audit Secure, very inexpensive, plus you can release jobs from any web enabled device such as smart phone tablet, etc.....

All of the Ricohs that have a ps card can do email2print basically you're sending an email to the device and it will print the file. an't do multiples nor compressed files, this is a nice work around instead of hot spot if the only need to print one file at a time.

I would definatly check out the threads here for Print Audits Secure Print, may solve all of your issues, plus it's cheap!! I think $1 or $2 per prnter per month and you get some awesome features!!!
