Setting up user print restrictions in papercut

Select the printer then select "Filters & Restrictions"


In the Filters & Restrictions


Enable Restriction Scope, and in this case I want to limit printing to a max of $25 or 50 pages.  There are other options such as spool size (size of the file being printed), duplexing etc.

Go to account details and enable the Restricted Checkbox



Once printed if your over one of the limits you will get a warning that the job was denied.
