158.0. "BIG PRINT JOBS WITH NO PAPER DURING THE DAY :-(" by FOOT::WRIGHT (I AM a member of this company) Tue Jul 26 1988 13:41

    I'm sure I saw a note in here asking people to queue large prints
    overnight (3242 block of PCA manual at 12:30 pm.). Wasn't there
    another one saying use /notify to tell you it had run out of paper.

158.1Small is beautiful!FOOT::TAYLORThu Aug 04 1988 11:5310
    I think I saw the same note about the large prints but I can't recall
    it now. But I do wish people would be a *bit* more considerate and
    queue the large prints overnight.
    What seems to be the problem though is that ESDP ( who by definition
    are always going to be queueing large prints) are also using our
    1 LN03 printer. Haven't they got their own?

158.2American Express?NECK::THOMPSONThu Aug 04 1988 18:496
    Does anyone know of a way of accounting for pages printed on devices
    driven over a LAN? If it were possible to put some figures to the
    amount of printing done by ADG and 'others' then perhaps  'others'
    might be encouraged to cough up the cost of providing this service, or
    charged enough to go and seek out printers nearer home.

    LN03 files can be printed on the LPS40 by using the command
    
    	$print/queue=ansi_eye <filespec>
    
    N.B. It is also a good idea to add the /NOTIFY qualifier to the
    print command. Not only will you be told when your job is completed,
    but also if the LPS40 runs out of paper etc while printing your
    job.

    The standard VMS accounting software handles this.

     That's right, it can tell you how much is printed from a single node to a
    single printer. But these printers are on ethernet. So print jobs can
    be queued from ANY node to ANY queue name the system manager wants to
    call it. This makes it nigh impossible to gather accounting data from all
    the relevant nodes and figure out what and how much has been sent to
    a particular lump of hardware.
