Hi,

One of our student computer labs would like to track and charge for laser
printing from student accounts on a Novell network.  Does anyone know
of  a system that perhaps allows for x copies to be purchased ahead of
time, maybe like the "credit card" systems used with some photocopy
machines. I looked into this for a MacJanet lab several years ago, and though
there was  a product, the cost was prohibitive.  I'm hoping there are more
affordable options now.  In any case, how do other universities handle this kind
of thing?

Thanks for any help,
