NAME
pquota - manage printer quota information

SYNOPSIS
pquota -a amount user ...
pquota -s amount user ...
pquota -r user ...
pquota -l user ...

DESCRIPTION
Printer quotas extend the existing printer accounting mechanism.
The printer quota database is stored in the files:
/var/adm/pquota.dir and /var/adm/pquota.pag. When these files
exist, only registered users with a positive balance are allowed to
print.

pquota provides the following management functions:

-a adjust the balance (by a positive/negative amount) for each
specified user.

-s set the balance (to an exact amount) for each specified user.

-r remove each specified user.

-l list the balance for each specified user.

Adjusting balances (-a) is the usual method for adding new users or
updating existing balances. Setting an exact balance (-s) is
included for surgical corrections. When listing balances, all
known users are shown if the user list is omitted.

NOTES
Each printer for which accounting is desired should have an
accounting file (af=filename) and page cost (pc#number) specified
in its capability entry in /etc/printcap. The page cost will
default to two cents (pc#200) if not declared. The output filter
actually sending to the printer debits the user’s printer quota
balance by the page cost times the number of pages printed.
