    Hello All--

    I am planning to upgrade to Win2k server next month.
    We have several large format printers (HP-Designjet 755-PS) on our network.
    The school would like to keep track of all printing and plotting, so we
    can charge for ink and paper usage. Currently to print from a PC you have
    to be logged into the NT4.0 server but Mac users can print using appletalk
    and we have no way of tracking them. The tracking and accounting software
    I have looked at assumes all users are connected to the NT server.

    Can I force Mac users to log in to the NT server in order to print?

    Does SFM on Win2000 server support large format printers? (NT4.0 had some
    DPI and size limits on printjobs through SFM )

    Is there a better way or better software that can monitor print jobs from
    all platforms?

    Any Ideas would be appreciated

    Jeff Thomas
