Hi Phil,

you use the MIFARE Classic card to control the usage of printing. Please take in mind that the security of this approach is that the coping of a Classic card is very difficult. The NFC infrastructure on Android is open, so anyone may be able to break our emulation software and copy the software and share the print access to everybody at your school (the security and copy-protections are the key topics here).

You can implement several application counters and read/write sectors on a Classic card to support different purposes (e.g. door access, print access, payment in the canteen etc). I would recommend to use a DESFire card for this multi-purpose needs for security reasons.

Regards,
MIFARE Team
