CUPS and Equitrac UNIX print server implementation

[Anders Bäck]

Hi all!

I have a question whether anyone here has made a implementation with CUPS and the Equitrac Express print quota system ?

We have implemented a print solution for a University who has a mixed environment: Windows, UNIX, Linux and Macintosh. The University uses Heimdal Kerberos for authentication through out their organization.

At present the solution for "non-Windows" clients is based on FreeBSD print server (LPRng) which "forwards" all print jobs to a windows print server (with Equitrac software installed) in order for the jobs to be accountable, which isn't a favorable solution due to a lot of manual configuration.

Since CUPS now (seems?) to support Kerberos it would be very interesting to learn if anyone on this forum has any experience of (kerberized) CUPS and Equitrac?
