hi all:
I am setting up the samba server in fedora 3 in order to control the printer page of office users.
I am new in linux box, I know the samba can help some in my aim. what tools I should use the setup the print quota control ?

for example , one person should have 150 soft limit in month and 170 page in hard limit .
once over the high limit, the user will be noticed by email .

where can I get some freeware to finish it ?

thank you

You should be able to accomplish this using some simple shell scripts. I've also seen utilities such as printbill and dcode out there.
