- In the current spirit of recycling and conservation of waste, we are
- desperately seeking a program/package for novell v2.15 that will
- overlay a message (i.e. "Department of Physics") on every printout
- from our printers. We have rather liberal access interms of printing
- on our computers. Although this fostered more people to use the
- computers and type their reports, it also created problems with
- excess printing (i.e. reprinting of resumes because of a tinny
- mistakes), multiple printing (i.e. using the printer as a copy
- machine to printout multiple resumes), and printing for other purposes
- not related to our department. I believe this problem has gotten out
- of hand as it stands now, and we are in need to remedy this.
-
- After much thinking, we felt that the best answer to our problem,
- and not hinder computer accessibility, was to have an automatic
- overlay of a message on every printout. And we were wondering if
- such programs exist for novell? If so, could you inform us with
- the name of this program and where it can be found, so that we
- can put an end to the excessive waste?
-
- We have seem a similar package that accomplishes this for the
- Macintosh, and has helped great deal in reducing wasteful printing.
- We hope very much if such product exists for the PCs.
-
- Thank you in advance.
- Scott
