Hi,

A nice future feature would be charging the customer's
printing charges against his time credit.. For example
if a customer prints 10 pages ($1 per page, and $10 per
hour) and it would be deducted to his remaining credits
(card or client).

The program will also barred the client to print if
total cost of printing is greater than the remaining
credits. This way no more manual cash transaction and
calculation when it comes to printing.

    Indeed this would be an interesting approach. The problems are:
    - how to detect the print jobs (and kill them) from VB6?
    - what do you do if there is a paper jam etc?

    Was just about to post this option if it wasn't here. Also keep in mind to allow admins to price the cost for Color and B&W separately.
