Question 1
We are aware about this behaviour. Next updates should address it. Unfortunately I can’t say the exact date for it yet.
Question 2
It is not clear what you would like to do here. Could you please state it step by step or state where we can follow this instruction on Admin guide?
Question 3
There is no GUI at the moment to see that. The feature has been logged under our database (and a few others).
There’s currently two ways to access the user’s quota statistics:
1: Job log (/Library/Logs/PrintService/PrintService.<queue>.job.log):
On queues where quota enforcement is enabled, if jobs are successfully printing, you should see messages in the log file like:
…Printer: “blah”, Job: “my job”, ID: 23: User: sally, remaining quota 14 pages.
2: NetInfo
On servers where quota enforcement is enabled for one or more queus, use the niutil command to dump the content of the local quota statistics. In Terminal, type the following:
%niutil -readprop . /PrintServiceUser/<user_name> appleprintservice 0
This is display an XML formatted block of data containing, among other things, the number of pages the user has printed to each queue or, if the user’s quota configuration in Workgroup Manager is “Any Queue” the total pages printed to all queues on that server. Look for the label “printed” for the number of printed pages.
Since only the printed page count, not the page balance, is recorded in NetInfo, you’ll need to know the user’s quota limit from Workgroup Manager in order to determine the remaining pages in the current quota period.
