    Introduction

    The print quota administration program was developed by ECC to encourage prudent use of the laser printers located in each lab. Prior to installing the print quota system a small number of students were printing a great number of copies of material totally unrelated to the educational process. This led to the establishment of the print quota system.

    Brief Procedure

    If you wish to check the status of your print quota you must first log into the server from any Windows or UNIX machine. Once connected to the server, enter the command "printquota" (without the quotation marks) at the prompt.
