- This question has been asked numerous times I believe, but I have never seen an
- answer to date. I am in need of something to solve my problem and would
- greatly appreciate any info and a point in any direction.
-
- I run an unsupervised Macintosh computer lab, with a AppleShare server and the
- AppleShare Print Server. As it is unsupervised, it's become a place where
- everyone and anyone they know comes to type up papers and print of hundreds of
- copies free. While it's not a big deal to me who works on the computers, it is
- a problem of who is printing and how much they ARE printing.
-
- Thus, I am in need of some program that will provide some control in this
- situation. What would be perfect would be something where I can set a maximum
- number of pages for each AppleShare user name (variable by my choice) and the
- Print Server uses that information to decide whether or not to let the person
- print or not. I don't care if it notifies the user or not.. just if it let's
- ther person print or not.
-
- As it is now, I have no control whatsoever. Does anyone know of anything that
- will work in tandem with AppleShare, or that will replace the Print Server for
- that matter? Anything would be appreciated..
-
- Much thanks in advance....
