We will be setting up a lab of 15 or so Macintoshes this summer and
would like to solicit information from other sites who have had some
experience in this area. We will most likely be using the Janet network
since it is designed for a university student environment, but that
is not definite yet. Our main area of concern is printing. We are
neither a large nor rich university, and cannot afford to provide
unlimited paper supply to our users. We require that each user pay
a per page cost for printing. On our present (old) CP/M TurboDOS network
our printing programs keep a running count of pages printed and update
an accounts file from which we compute a monthly bill.
Is there anyway to do a similar sort of thing in a Macintosh network,
particularly for the LaserWriter? Also, is there anyway to get a banner
page added to each printout so it can be identified? I realize these
questions are very network dependent, but if anybody has solved these
problems elsewhere we would appreciate hearing from you.
BTW, what is a good network for use in a university. We plan to use
MAC SE's.
