Hi, I was wondering if there is any way on the NeXT to monitor and/or regulate printer use? Basically, I want to be able to keep a log of who uses the printer and how many pages the documents are. If possible, I'd also like to be able to regulate who is allowed to use the printer. Any help on this would be appreciated... Thanks, Brandon -- ............................................................................... To reach me through e-mail: greimann@freezer.cns.udel.edu Phone: (302) 368-4862

Any >help on this would be appreciated... Sure .... Read the man page on printcap(5). One of the things you can specify is a flag: ...:af account_file: Basically if this file exists and is writable, Every file printed on the printer will be logged after completion of the job. The entries are in the format: #pages host:user Unfortunately, there is no timestamp. -- Drew Gonczi Systems Analyst I Office of Information Technology drew.gonczi@oit.gatech.edu
