Granted have not upped our print servers to 2008 yet--still on 2003 R2, but it's listed as supported. You can pick up a 40-day trial to see if it's what you need. -Bonnie -----Original Message----- From: Sean Rector [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 05, 2008 2:13 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Print Management Systems I've not heard of a Print Management system that does that.

Ross [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 05, 2008 5:05 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Print Management Systems Thank you all for the good information on the Windows 2008 print management... I'm looking at it now, and it looks very promising. (Especially the ACLs, which may allow me to block students from printing to some printers altogether!) Is there a way in the Windows 2008 system to block a printout from a user which is, say 10 pages or larger? Or is that beyond the capabilities of the MS solution? (I'm not seeing it, poking around.) --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: Troy Meyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri, 05 Dec 2008 13:22:10 -0800 Subject: RE: Print Management Systems > Just a quick add-on.
