Much of the wasted or discarded paper comes from the printing of webpages. Webpages also use more of the toner so our toner cartridges have to be replaced sooner than expected, which is another added expense. We have decided to permit only the printing of Word and Excel documents and to limit a single print job to 10 pages. We are currently using a trial version of a printer controller software as a stopgap measure until the end of the semester. The purchase price of the software is over $500 and the software has many features that we really don't need. Do any of you know of any printer controller software that is simpler and cheaper? We are looking for software that will allow us to block the printing of webpages and pdf files and that would allow us to set a limit on the number of pages that can be printed at one time.
