Workstation tab

Use this tab in the Manage Windows Queues utility to assign quota management profiles and printing costs to workstation Windows queues.

A workstation queue is a Windows printer that is not a Output Manager source (for example, a USB attached printer on an end user's workstation). The data is not received into Output Manager, but print jobs can be tracked by the Output Manager Desktop Client for billing purposes.

Quota management profiles can be configured to set up restrictions based on document properties. Examples include disallowing color printing, requiring documents to be duplex, disabling print from certain applications, and so on.

Windows queues grid

Use this grid to assign quota profiles and printing costs to external Windows queues.

Server Name — Displays the server name where the source (Windows queue) is located. By default the grid is grouped by the server name. This allows you to easily view all queues for a server. You can remove grouping by right clicking in the group panel and selecting Clear Grouping.

Source/Windows Queue — Displays the source (Windows queue) name.

Source Group — Displays the group that contains the source.

Quota Profile — Specifies the quota management profile assigned to this source (Windows queue). The quota profile sets up restrictions based on the type of document, for example, disallowing color printing, requiring documents to be duplex, disabling print from certain applications, and so on. To select a profile, click in the cell and select a profile from the list. To manage profiles, click the browse button (...) to display the Manage Windows Queue Quota Profiles dialog box.

Cost per Page (B&W) — Sets the printing cost per page for black and white documents.

Cost per Page (Color) — Sets the printing cost per page for color documents.
