I posted a similar article last Thursday but have no idea if it went out or
if anyone responded to it since our system was done from Thursday @ 4pm to
Monday @ 4pm due to some damn IOA errors.  (we're talking dead folks)

Anyway, I read about a week ago that it was possible to burn a password into
the LaserWriter.  How is this done?  I've combed through the docs with no
luck.  Also, once this is done, how and when do you enter the password so
that the LaserWriter can be used.

The whole idea here is that we would like to have people input a password
before they are able to print things out.  We need to do this because all
kinds of pages are being printed out by everyone who shouldn't be using it
at all.  (especially for draft copies and 50 copies of a resume!)

Is there an alternative method of doing this?  Maybe Chooser could have a
password that must be entered before the LaserWriter can be selected.

We had been remove LaserPrep from our HD so that it would ask for the
Printer Installer disk before it could print.  Unfortunately some people
caught on and made copies of this disk that they use.

Someone help, please!!!

Thanx in advance (if anyone had enough patience to read this verbosity)
