Network card printing, a budget option?

Question

System administration

There are several large MFPs (network and USB), it is necessary to organize printing using mifare cards A person
sent a job to the printer from different computers, went to the printer, attached the card to the reader, the printer prints its queue
Synchronization with AD is needed, as well as centralized management (1 server ) so as not to hammer identifiers into each printer, but once per server.
I have found several solutions on the market, but they do not fit the budget.
200k for 3 printers
, there is also a domestic solution 4 times cheaper, but they require you to buy a license of 30k for one reader for the administrator's workplace (the one who starts the accounts)
Is there software for printing on cards at a lower cost? for example, you can attach a PC with a reader to each printer.

Answer 1

MyQ considered? Knows how to ldap. a reader is installed on the printer, according to your cards, you need to check with the vendor which one specifically. Admin via web. Also, not all printers (MFPs) are supported, I put it on the Kyocera 3051. The budget should meet, I think. The main gag is licenses tied to the server hardware.
