A few days ago, I posted something to the AppleTalk group.  I later
realized that I should have also posted it here!  So, here we go...

Does anyone know how to limit print sizes on a LaserWriter Plus?  We have
people coming in to the lab (at which I work), printing their 50-page
law thesis, and then while going through it, find that they mis-cited an 
obscure quote on page 24 and re-print the entire thing.

Speficially, I'm trying to find a way to limit sizes and to prevent
re-initalization of the printer by using old versions of the drivers.  We
are getting Apple's Print Spooler for AppleShare.  Will this let be do
what I want?

Be forewarned, I know not a whit of PostScript.  SO if you have a solution,
please also include the code and where I should put it!

Thanksalot!
