Hi All,

I am in a school environment and at the end of every day I have around 150 pages of rubbish that has been printed off and left there.

I am running W2k server and I have W2K clients. Can anyone tell me how to setup a page printing limit of around 10 pages per day, per user.

I have mainly Lexmark Optra S 1250 and 1650 Laser Printers if this helps.

Thankyou

That isn't going to be a setting which youc an set by default via a GPO. The link below shows the ones that you can set:

You are going to need some third-party information management with printer management software. And depending on the number of clients that you have, this may be far more expensive than the waste paper costs.
