More extensive printer management
« on: August 14, 2002, 04:13:16 PM »
Hi,

I would like to see more options for managing networked printers and printers directly connected to the server. I'm thinking of a couple of things here:

1. A counter of pages printed per user (possibly taking into account the amount of
   toner used)
2. Seperator pages between printjobs with user id
3. Possibility to us a per user budget
4. Server-manager panel integration so all setup and maintainance tasks can be
   done from there.
5. personalized webpage and or e-mail so users know how much they printed and
   what remains of their budget.


I think this may be well worth it in any educational setting and offices where you need to calculate the per user cost. (Flex work offices for instance)

I for one would really be interested. I know there are several scripts out there but have not heard of anyone getting these to work on SME and certainly not with the above mentioned features.

regards,

Jan

Would be interested in hearing more on this if anyone has done it. Realator offices could use something like this to admin the pager and printer usage.
Thanks,
