A network supervisor can instruct AppleTalk print services to maintain a printer log. The printer log will contain information about each print job, including its name, size, number, owner, the queue from which it printed, and a record of any system messages generated during its printing. NetWare 5 will also record the status of the printer, including printer resets, whether the printer is designated as hidden, and the version of the dictionary the printer accesses. NetWare5 Services for AppleShare includes a printer accounting feature, supported by some printers, that enables network supervisors to specify printing rates. The supervisor can set a per-page charge for PostScript printers.
Supervisors can specify and track account balances for individual users.
When a user's account does not have a sufficient balance to pay for a queued print job, NetWare 5 places the job on Operator Hold and notifies the user.
