| 262062 | 2004-08-16 00:00:00 | For the first time in Months Ive refilled the Ink in our Printer. Sadly when I do so the kids in the house manage to print of pages and pages of junk! We all share a "family" account on the PC the pritner is attached to, and I can print across the LAN. Is there any way of passwording or placing a similar restriction to the printer from the local "family" account? Cheers Chill. |

This way you can spool all of the jobs and selectively delete / print the jobs you want. | andrew93 (249) | ||
