...has asked for a solution that would make theme able to control the amount of paper each student is allowed to use eg. hard-quota. AFAIK, there is no solution in the Samba or CUPS tool-box itself, so i Googled a little and found the PyKota project: http://www.librelogiciel.com/software/PyKota/action_Presentation Unfortunately i do not have any experience with it, but it seems like a good solution because it is able to store the accounting data in LDAP, and monitor the printers life-time page counter.

I think that best way to implement this would be from CUPS, but I don't know how to generate the required information for SAMBA to send the message to the client. Any pointers welcome Thanks Gil

Howdy, I'm looking for a piece of software I can use for accounting printers shared on a Linux box via Samba, to Win98/2K/XP machines on a domain. In other words, I want to be able to give user a print quota (say, $3.00), then charge them 10c per page they print from a Windows client to a printer shared from a Linux box running Samba. If they're out of quota, it doesn't print

I have set up a samba server which i also want to use as printserver using cups. I have configured a samsung printer using cups and am also sharing it via samba by having the printer share in smb.conf file.
