How to pay prints using an inteligent card ?

[Pere Roca Trias]

We are using Novell Netware 4.1 / 3.12 servers to share printers in our
computer labs. Students may pay for printing pages to shared printers and
we want to automatize the payment using the inteligent card the students
have.

If any one is using or know about a solution for this (perhaps not using
an inteligent card)we'll be very happy to hear abou it. TIA

To augment any of the above, Secure Design has a print queue manager
called QView Pro. QView can assist in showing what print jobs are being
sent to the individual printer. This helps quite a bit in determining
who's vending card should be placed in the card reader when several users
are sharing a printer. A demo copy is available at the world web site
