Good evening,.
I wish to give each user on my server the abiulty to print n pages untill i give him more qouta.
To understand how to do it i understood that i need to set it per day qouta so i did the next (as root ):
Code:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p cups-pdf -o job-quota-period=86400 -o job-page-limit=1
so each user will be able to print on the printer cups-pdf only 1 page per day.
so i sued to user foo and started to print but he was able to print as many as i press on print.
What am i doing wrong ?
using Lenny.
