Currently the only way to print something in the shop is by connecting a
USB to a laptop and configuring the drivers. That has to be done for
every new computer you want to print from. Two people send a job to the
printer at the same time.
I can use a raspberry pi, a usb wifi adapter, and a usb hub to connect
both of the printers to the raspberry pi. Then I can install the printer
drivers and print services to the raspberry pi, configure it as a print
server, put it on the network, and then no one will have to have a
hassle just to print something again.
