Is it possible, and does anyone know how I can do any of the following
running XP home, and xp pro
Can I make it so that a particular account (USER) cannot print?
Can I make it so that one user's account has certain print defaults, eg.
Printing in best quality, and another account have draft as the print quality
by default?
Can I also make it so that documents are automatically paused, without
pausing the printer? My old office had this system , whereby the boss would
monitor what was printing.
Eg. so that my children can send their homework through to the printer and I
resume it later, once I have checked that it's their homework, not just
something they saw and wanted to print.
Hope you are able to answer some of my questions.
If you have any idea how to achieve what I'm trying to do, I'd appreciate it.
You can set up one printer with several printer drivers with different permissions.
You can set up a printer for Joe to just print envelopes, another for Ann to print checks, another for James to print letters. You can establish in permissions who can print and who cannot.
The hardware is just one physical printer.
