Obviously, there's going to be better planning next time a printer is installed :). Lets see, offhand, some choices are: - Find money to run the printer. - Give users a quota, perhaps a daily quota. - Restrict the type of usage allowed. - Encourage students to use X based previewers. - Tutor them in efficient usage of resources. - Make them pay for their own use. Why not ask students what they think would be a good idea? After all, they're your customers. Sean -- ** Sean Casey
