Description
Print Management Software Print-Limit is the easy-to-use solution that keeps computer printing costs under control, providing centralized management for all network printers and users.
What's New in Print·Limit 6.0 In the Web Tools interface, a new Charge Rates page allows users to compare the amount each printer charges per page. This Web page also displays any discounts available for grayscale or duplex printing.
The User Inquiry Tool, which alerts users when they have a low balance, can now be configured to send a message upon every print job. For example, you may want to alert users to the number of pages they are about to print or how much they will be charged.
Save Reduce the amount of paper and toner used in your school by up to 75%, saving hundreds or even thousands of dollars from your school budget every year.

Server
- Windows NT 4.0 / 2000 / 2003 / XP (workstation*, professional*, server and advanced server versions all supported)
- At least 20 MB disk space, with more for log archives
- Printers supporting either Postscript, PCL (any version), PCL-GUI, HPGL, PCLXL, ESC/P2, ESC/PAGE or Ricoh RPCS.
* Networked printers recommended
Client Workstations (optional)
- Windows 95 / 98 / ME / NT 4.0 / 2000 / XP
- 4 MB disk space
- Windows 95 / 98 / ME machines should log on to a Windows Domain to ensure correct user identification
