Hi All
Excuse me for asking but i am not too sure on this one,
I have two grandaughters that have a habit of printing for the sake of printing, mum is on a limited budget and needs ink for uni work. if we set up the administrator account with password that would be for mum, can we set up an account for each grandaughter and take out programmes such as printers from their individual account, then they could save on a memory stick, mum can check what they wish to print and print it for them.
also if we have programmes on the computer that we dont want them to delete or use do we just log onto each account and delete those programmes, if so will they still be in the administrators account.
i hope this makes sense but i have never needed to do this before and i dont wish to wipe out a programme if it can be avoided
we are using XP
Don't do any of what you have mentioned in your post. You can purchase for relatively low cost, sometimes freeware, print management software that will require a password to print.
If you can't find one, it could be an option to write a script to do this. Only a few lines of code which could be put together. We used to use something similar where I used to work to map the printers. The same script can be modified to 'disconnect' the printers at log on and then a password could be added that would run the script and 'connect' the printers again. Let us know. wicketts |
