Perhaps this is in the FAQ, but I don't know where the FAQ is?
(Is the location of the FAQ in the FAQ? :)

Hey all...I'm quite familiar with Macs and Unix, but the two together...?
So, I'm wiring my Macs up for Ethernet and would like to do all my
print accounting on our SparcStation running CAP.
A normal, "Mac" based print spooler will "capture" laser printer
hooked up to it, and will make them inaccessible to people to print to
except through the spooler.  This is sometimes called "bypass".
In order to make people pay for the prints they make, we need to keep
track of the printers' usage...

If I let CAP take control over my laser printers (which will be on Ethernet - 
either by themselves or through the use of an AsantePrint box), will
CAP "control" the printers and not allow mac people to see those
printers in their Choosers?

To "capture" a printer, the spooler would change the type of the laserwriter
from "Laserwriter" to "LaserShared", then calls itself the name of that
printer plus the word "(Spooler)".

Does CAP do this?  How can I charge people using my LaserWriters?

thanks for any info, I'll repost a summary if desired.
