Print Quotas Under NT?

Posted by Cliff on from the we-did-this-for-penguins-last-week dept.

AmiOtaku asks: "I am a student lab coordinator for Southwest Texas State University and I was wondering if anyone could help me. I'm looking for a way to limiting printing in several of my labs. Print Quota Manager and Print Manager Plus do not suit our needs. Both fail to obtain a list of users from our NT domain. Our server is not the primary domain controller for the campus, just the domain controller for our domain which has a trust relationship with the main domain for campus, but is not trusted, which is why both seem to fail in getting a list of user names. Anyway, if I could find a way to simply limit each print job to under X amount of pages, that would be a great help. Keeping a log of users and enforcing quotas would be nice but is really optional. Any ideas?" Before anyone starts delving into OS advocacy, I think it poignant to note that we did this same question for Linux, just last week.

    Use an NT newsgroup or forumn. Stop wasting bandwidth on this forumn. No one cares about your printing issues! It has no significance to anything
    Man, who let this thing post?
    Use a freaking search engine. I've heard google is good.
    My god,
    I'm looking at buying a new mouse, which one is best? Who the F@#$ cares?
