I have a network of 15 PC's with a ISA server. I need to have a count and control of the pages printed. I would like to have the server stop each printing order before being printed and have a person in charge liberate the order.
Can this be done?How? Is there some software already developed to do this?
Thanks

What you're asking for can not be done with any MS OS. A work around would be to set each printer to "Pause" @ the server and have someone monitor the print jobs constantly, and remove the printer from pause just long enough for a document to print. One other step would be to "Keep All Documents" in the printer que to track printer usage. It is going to be very administrative and time consuming to do this.

Unusual solution: your users can e-mail documents to printer operator. Also restrict access to printer.
