Is there any software that allows administration of the LaserWriter (user prioritization, usage, etc.)? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chriss Koch Ampex Video Systems Corp., 600 Wooten Rd., Colo Spgs, CO 80915 UUCP: uunet!ampex!soul!ckoch SCORPION BBS 719.637.1458 (sysop) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lately, a number of little shareware/PD utiliities have come out for just this purpose. Laser Lockout, PrinterInfo and ChooserUser come to mine. You might also look at some of the new network products, like TechWorks' GraceLAN, which may or may not offer control of printers, but certainly offer lots of information about them Shelly Brisbin brisbin@cactus.org. -- _________________________________________________________________ Shelly Brisbin Leopard Communication brisbin@peyote.cactus.org

We provide a ShareWare INIT called PrintTrack that monitors printer usage for a Macintosh. Drop it in the system folder, reboot, and you're set. It writes a text file that contains: o The Chooser name that submitted the job. o The type of printer used. (The name of the printer will be there shortly.) o The name of the file printed. o The number of pages printed. o The time and date printed. Very simple. If you would like a copy of this, or would like information on something that does this in a more secure fashion, please send a message to info@eclectic.com -David -- -David C.
