HelloIt's possible restrict ammount pages printed on printers with w2k3 gpo.Or exists some alternative application for this?Thank you very much.

Hi sepinero,AFAIK , there is no GPO from which you can control the amount of pages printed. for more information for available GPO you can use gpedit.msc and navigate to computer configuration --> administrative templates --> printers on right hand pane you could see different options to control w.r.t printers.And also for user specific configuration User Configuration --> Administrative templates --> control panel -->printers.More info======Following the print spooler architecture. Determining whether a print job should be handled locally or across a network. Accepting a data stream created by GDI, in conjunction with a printer driver, for output on a particular type of printer. Spooling the data to a file (if spooling is enabled). Selecting the first available physical printer in a logical printer queue. Converting a data stream from a spooled format (such as enhanced metafile (EMF)) to a format that can be sent to printer hardware (such as printer control language (PCL)). Sending a data stream to printer hardware. Maintaining a registry-based database for spooler components and printer forms. (WindowsVista) Rendering print jobs on the client computer instead of on the print server. Client-side rendering eases the print server workload, is transparent to the print driver, and is enabled by default in WindowsVista. For Windows7, print drivers can run in a separate process from the spooler. This feature is called Printer Driver Isolation. with above said AFAIK, it would be the printer hardware which would decide how to print the data based on the printer driver . sainath Attending Microsoft Teched 2009
