I've a question related with pykota behavior managing user-groups quotas: I have users belonging to a several groups (vg. userAdmin belongs to Admin and Employees groups). I want assign a quota to user admin assigning a quota to Admin group, but I want to assign a quota to Employees group for the other system users. How I can do this? It is possible to assign a (different) quota to Admin and Employees groups and setup ONLY one of that quotas to one (or more) user(s) that belongs to both groups? Thanks in advance! Daniel. </pre> Daniel J. Soto 2012-05-25T08:12:33 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.printing.pykota.user/6371 <pre>Hi! Every time i send job to this network printer : Canon IR2030i, the job is send to the cups very fast, but then it is never send to the printer... it could be pykota? or is defenetly a CUPS problem??? I am using this driver: Canon imageRunner 2020i Foomatic/pxlmono (recommended) Any help? Thanks!!! </pre> Germana Oliveira 2012-05-24T19:53:50 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.printing.pykota.user/6370 <pre>This is the error i get when i try: pkusers --ingroups sistemas_organizacion moliveira PyKotaStorageError: Problem modifying LDAP entry (cn=sistemas_organizacion,ou=printergroup,dc=rialca,dc=com,dc=ve, {'objectclass': ['pykotaObject', 'pykotaGroup'], 'pykotagroupname': ['sistemas_organizacion'], 'pykotalimitby': ['noquota'], 'cn': ['sistemas_organizacion'], 'memberuid': ['moliveira']}) : {'info': "attribute 'memberUid' not allowed", 'desc': 'Object class violation'} I am using openLDAP+Pykota And a question: i have to do pkusers --add [user] for all my LDAP users??

I've notice that pkturnkey is able to detect new printers in CUPS and update pykota DB but, almost for me, pkturnkey is NOT able to detect that a printer has been removed from CUPS and update (deleting it) from pykota DB. Is this behavior right? i.e., pkturnkey can be used to get the new installed printers in CUPS but can't be used to delete printers from pykota automatically when them are removed from CUPS. If above affirmation is right, then I need to remove printers from pykota DB running pkprinters -d &lt;printer&gt; command, isn't it? Thanks in advance and regards! Daniel. </pre> Daniel J.

Now I want to only allow a few users to print on one particular printer . Is there a way to remove all printing from the one printer and then put a few users back onto it?

Every time i send a job to print: CUPS say the job was print, but when i check the pykota reports it says CANCEL (in every job i send) and in the Printer (hardware) nothing is printed. So it seems Pykota does not let me print, but Why? What am i missing?

Hope you can help me. I want the following: There are 3 printers (A,B,C) and I want to allow User1 to print 100 pages to only printer A &amp; B and none on Printer C I try to do this: 1) Create a printer group: pkprinter -a pgroup 2) Add printers A, B to that group: pkprinter -a -g pgroup A (idem with B) 3) Setup quota for User1 to None on soft and hard limits: edpykota -a -P A,B -n User1 4) I set a quota for pgroup &amp; user: edpykota --softlimit 2 --hardlimit 4 --printer pgroup User1 Then, I test printing 5 docs and... PyKota let me to print (as User1, of course) that 5 (or more) docs!!! Where I am mistaken? Could you help me with this set up? Thank your in advance, Regards. </pre> Daniel J. Soto 2012-04-11T15:40:54 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.printing.pykota.user/6334 <pre>Hello, I've been reading in mailing list files some posts about the subject but they was mainly old and not enought clear messages (to me). It is possible to restrict color printing (to some users) and apply different quotas (color and B&amp;W quotas) to the same printer? If it is explained in other posts or in any docs (that I'm not able to find), could anybody send that links to me, please? (I'm reading about ink accounting, ink coverage,... but I've not understood what I must to do or how I can configure PyKota...) Thanks in advance, Daniel. </pre> Daniel J.

By using the system we realized that users could print beyond their quota balance, not a lot of pages but a few that allow them to finish a final job. We used to call that "emergency balance" but I don't know how to calculate this and tell our users: you will print maximum 20 pages away from your balance. Has anyone found any method to calculate that? Thanks in advance Alfredo Flores H.

I am running several of my CUPS (version 1.3.9) queues through Pykota (version 1.27alpha13) to capture data before I turn on quotas. All are working well except one. I am having trouble with one queue for a networked Dell printer (Dell 1130n Laser Printer). The printer works great when just using the socket address (socket://192.168.2.34), but when I run it through cupspykota, I get the following error in CUPS: "unpack requires a string argument of length 2" I have changed the page accounting method from hardware(snmp) to software in /etc/pykota/pykota.conf, but still get the same error. CUPS is using the Dell 1130n driver. Has anyone seen this before? Pykota is really awesome. Thanks for your help.
