One solution is a product called Printer Accounting Server.
It has a client that runs on the Macintosh allowing you to control
printing on both Macs and PCs from a single server.

Another solution is Dave by http://www.thursby.com/ If you
turn off the Macintosh Print Spooler on the NT Server you can force
your Mac users to authenticate and print through Dave instead.

>I am planning to upgrade to Win2k server next month.

>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
