In the main output room (the "Ready Room") at Princeton, there is one line
printer (the "Ready Printer") open for users to go get their own output.
Users are supposed to separate all jobs that are attached to theirs and stack
them neatly on the table, but some people fail to separate the jobs, making
it hard to find the right output.
 
The other printers are in a restricted area, and the operators put the output
in the users' bins (either private bins, or public bins designated by the first
letter of the user's last name).  I've never heard anyone complain about her or
his output being stolen (but then, what do I know?), but the output sometimes
spills onto the floor and gets trampled on during times of heavy use.
