prqd 1.1.10

Overview

This package can be used in conjunction with LPRng to enforce print quota by limiting the number of pages users can print on a queue.
Limits can be set in general (for all users), based on membership in UNIX user groups or for individual users. Additionally users can have a personal print account.
This is usefull in public computer labs in schools and universities to make users think before printing (see FAQ). Students are allowed to print a limited number of pages per semester as required in the courses. The limit expires at the end of each semester. In addition to the limited number of pages users can have a personal print account for private purposes. Print accounts do not expire at the end of a semester.
Printing is allowed if at least one of the following conditions is true:

• The user has not yet reached the limit or
• there is a positive number of pages in the personal print account.
