how to implement Printing Quota in domain based enviroment (win 20

[Guest]

Hi There,

Currently in our network we are using a Print server(a
device) for sharing printers connected to it.

I have assigned an ip to it & installed drivers on the
Domain controller from where the users are sharing
Printers. (\\server\printer_name)

Now i want to assign printing quota to the users so
that they can print jobs within the limit assigned to
them.

Can anyone tell me how to implement it?

Thanks in advance

When you share a printer in Windows 2000 you can control the hours when a
printer is available to a user. However, I know of no way to control the
volume or number of print jobs submitted by a user. There are third party
programs which can do this, and your print server may have this capability.
