Bug Description

A colleague and I were discussing workflows and thought it would be helpful if the autoprint receipts feature could distinguish between internal and external receipts for resource sharing. So for instance, her library doesn't want to print receipts to their branches in order to save paper, so they can't have autoprint turned on, but they print receipts for holds and for transits to other consortia libraries. The ability for autoprint to distinguish internal receipts and have a feature to turn off printing for that would be helpful.

I don't know if it would be possible, but it seems that an additional feature of a popup or something to highlight the branch location would be helpful for staff to see an internal transit if this were in place. So for instance, at our library, we only have one branch so we wouldn't even need internal slips, but if they don't print we would have to watch super carefully to not miss a branch transit. I feel like a popup would be annoying so perhaps a way to highlight the branch location would be best if possible.

In either case, whether the additional feature is available or not, I feel like the ability to distinguish between internal and external receipts would be a helpful addition to the autoprint feature.
