Print management SafeQ and Linux

If you are using print management in your company on your Windows server and Windows PC's, you may be wondering if it would work on your Linux machines too. Well, to be honest I was wondering that too. 

SafeQ from YSoft is print, copy and scan management technology designed to reduce print costs and increase workflow productivity. I don't know if it really does what it says it does but I know it bothers my colleagues very much when they have to log in to scan or copy. It's not easy to be an IT guy, you take the blame for all kind of shit.
