<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">You might check out CUPS for
print management<br>
Ref <a href="http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/options.html" target="_blank">http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/options.html</a><br>
<br>
One CUPS option is:<br>
<br>
Holding Jobs for Later Printing<br>
The -o job-hold-until=when option tells CUPS to delay printing until the
"when" time, which can be one of the following:<br>
<b>-o job-hold-until=indefinite; print only after released by the user or an
administrator</b><br>
<br>
Also found this link that discusses it.<br>
<a href="http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/cups-print-queue-manager-for-print-server-425896/" target="_blank">http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/cups-print-queue-manager-for-print-server-425896/</a><br>
<br>
I started to make a print server using it but got sidetracked.<br>
<br>
Possibly Jim Mann at GCPL has done this ??<br>

openSUSE 11.2 is<br>

Has Gnome Desktop<br>
<br>
The 3GB iso may be downloaded , burned to a DVD and run in a PC.<br>
It may also be run directly in a virtual machine, such as VMware Server<br>
allows.<br>
Check the MD5 Hash after downloading to verify a good iso.<br>
<br>
After starting, there is a Live Installer desktop icon to install the<br>
system to the hard drive, if desired.<br>
During the install the root partition size must be changed to at least<br>
10GB or the install fails.<br>
This is noted in the instructions.<br>
<br>
I did a smooth VMware Server install on a Dell Inspiron Vista Home<br>
Premium laptop.<br>
The machine was set as 2 core, 1GB mem, 20GB HD, 2 NICS, USB<br>
