Is it possible to set a printer to only print a specific number of pages? -

I have a public computer room with 2 computers and 1 printer. it is a senior housing community and it is for our residents. There is no one in the room watching and 1 resident keeps printing large files 20 - 50 pages. He brings his own paper, my fear is he will use up the printer cartridge to fast. I would like to set printer to only print like 5 pages at a time.

Hi, There is a software you can get to restrict printing and PC Security, not sure which ones but have heard of them, try your local IT Store. Domo

You can go into your quot;printer preferencesquot; and set it for five copies, but if the person who s printing is familiar with that,he/she can set it back. Your best bet is to explain to them how expensive the ink is, and you ll be glad to let them print that much, if they contribute.
