13.5.1 Activating the print quotas<br />
Activating the print quotas provokes an internal change to the printer URI. If a quote is activated for a<br />
printer on a print server without univention-printquota, the printer will be deactivated with the first print<br />
job.<br />
To activate the print quota for a printer, the respective printer or printer group must be selected in <strong>Univention</strong><br />
Directory Manager using the printer menu item and the Activate quota entry selected on the General<br />
tab. An existing policy can now be selected in the Configuration selection field or a new policy created<br />
for the current printer share on the [Print quota] policy tab.<br />
Attention:<br />
The quota system cannot be used for printer shares which print in a file (file:/) or via a parallel port<br />
(parallel:/). This can otherwise lead to the printer being deactivated.<br />
13.5.2 Creating a print quota policy<br />
A Print quota policy object can be added in the <strong>Univention</strong> Directory Manager policy wizard to create print<br />
quota policies.<br />
The policy must be set in the input mask which opens and then individual ucsMenuEntryPrint quota for<br />
users, Print quota for groups or Print quota for groups per user added with the appropriate page limits<br />
(see also Section 4.5.11). Soft-Limit can be used to define a page limit where the user is informed when<br />
he exceeds the limit. Hard-Limit can be used to set the limit of the page contingent for the user. The<br />
quota system interprets the values set minus 1. I.e., if the user has a Hard-Limit of 100, a maximum of 99<br />
pages can be printed. This gives the following special values:<br />
0 - No limit<br />
1 - No page contingent<br />
The following examples should emphasise the possibilities available with print quota policies:<br />

• To set each user from the Domain Users group a soft limit of 200 pages and a hard limit of 250 pages<br />
for the laser01 printer, the laser01 printer must be selected in the Printer module in <strong>Univention</strong><br />
Directory Manager and a soft limit of 201 pages and a hard limit of 251 pages entered in the Print<br />
quota for groups per user field for the Domain Users group on the [Print Quota] tab. Confirming<br />
with the [Add] and [OK] buttons enters the quota policy and saves it.<br />
• As a member of the Domain Users group, the user user01 is then subject to the print quota policies<br />
in place for the printer laser01. If the user is assigned another user-specific print quota with a soft<br />
limit of 400 pages and a hard limit of 450 pages in the same manner as described above, he may<br />
still only print a maximum of 250 pages. The print quota system does not allow the limit of the other<br />
policy to be exceeded.<br />
• Each user of the Power Printers group should be assigned a Soft-Limit of 1000 pages and a Hard-<br />
Limit of 1200 pages for all inkjet printers in the domain. A new Ink jet printer group needs to be<br />
created for this and all the inkjet printers in the domain added to it (see Section 13.3.4). Soft and<br />
hard limits are now assigned to the Power Printers group in the Print quota for groups per user<br />
field using a Print quota policy with the name PP limit as already described above. Once the added
