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....
