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.

Print Limit development began in 1999, in conjunction with network technicians and staff from a number of education facilities. It has proven scalability and stability.
Simplicity
Print Limit is designed for ease-of-use, yet provides the power needed for flexible administration. Print·Limit is renowned for its straightforward installation and easy-to-use interface. Some highlights include:
- self applying security permissions upon install
- no back-end databases to configure
- automatic user account importing from Active Directory groups or organizational units
Technical Requirements
Print Limit runs on Windows networks, monitoring printer queues.
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
- Windows XP, Windows 2000 Professional and Windows NT Workstation only allow 10 simultaneous connections (See Microsoft article). Therefore, these operating systems can only be used for print servers when less than 10 users are connecting at one time.
