Hi All,

I am working within a corporation that is using Novell as
their network. I run a small computer lab that is
attached to this network. Within this lab I have a HP
LaserJet 6P attached to one of the 6 computers. The rest
od the computers can also print to this printer as it is
a shared resource. There is a mixture of OS's. The
computer to which the printer is attached is using Win98,
the rest are using either win98 or XP. My concern is that
we offer free printing sources to the public but this is
costing us quite a lot of toner and money. Is there a way
to limit the amount of pages printer or to set the print
quality to economode. I can do that now, but the users
can change it back from the computer they are printing
from. I guess I am looking for CONTROL!! Any help would
be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

the only way to restrict what users can do is to have a
true server i.e. netware, win2000 etc... If your printer
is attached to something like win98, you can't restrict
very much. You may be able to restrict through Novell,
as long as the Novell server is acting as the print
server, depending on the configuration of your network.
