The Open Directory printer is named using the queue name defined in the Print module of
Server Settings.

LPR clients do not support names that contain spaces, and some Windows clients restrict
names to 12 characters. Queue names shared via LPR or SMB should not contain characters
other than A – Z, a – z, 0 – 9, and “_” (underscore).

AppleTalk queue names cannot be longer than 32 bytes (which may be fewer than 32 typed
characters). Note that the queue name is encoded according to the language used on the
server and may not be readable on client computers using another language.

Note: After sharing a print queue in an Open Directory domain, do not try to add the queue
from the Directory Services list to your server.

Setting Up Print Quotas

There are two parts to setting up print quotas—specifying the quotas in users’ accounts and
enforcing the quotas for the print service. You use the Users & Groups module of Workgroup
Manager to set up print quotas for a user. You can set specific quotas for each print queue or
you can define a single quota that applies to all print queues (that are enforcing quotas) to
which a user has access. See “Working With Print Settings for Users” on page 151.

You use Server Settings to “turn on” the enforcement of users’ print quotas that you’ve
defined for a print queue. If you do not enforce print quotas, users can print an unlimited
number of pages to the queue.

Enforcing Quotas for a Print Queue

Unless you enforce quotas for a print queue, users will have unlimited printing capabilities
even if print quotas are defined for the users’ accounts.

To enforce quotas for a print queue:

1

In Server Settings, click the File & Print tab.

2

Click Print and choose Show Print Monitor.

3

Select the print queue and click Edit.

4

Select “Enforce print quotas” to enforce the user print quotas for the print queue.
