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....
