Papercut Script - Student Copies

[mshill]

Hi All

 

Trying to create a script that limits the number of copies a student can print, I have amended the number of pages script to try and achieve this but it doesn;t seem to work. Has any of the Papercut gurus got any idea why it is not doing anything.

 

 

/*

* Cancel large print jobs sent by students

*

* Members of the Students group are only allowed to print up to 100 pages. Jobs

* larger than this will be canceled with a notification. This recipe demonstrates

* group-level restrictions.

*/

function printJobHook(inputs, actions) {

var RESTRICTED_GROUP = 'Students';

var COPY_LIMIT = '3';

 

/*

* This script needs to check the number of pages in the job, so return here

* unless job analysis is complete. The only job details that are available

* before analysis are metadata such as username, printer name, and date.

*

* See reference documentation for full explanation.

*/

if (!inputs.job.isAnalysisComplete) {

// No job details yet so return.

return;

}

 

/*

* If the user belongs to the disallowed group and the job has more pages than

* the limit, cancel the job and send a notification (if they are running the

* client software).

*/

if (inputs.user.isInGroup(RESTRICTED_GROUP)) {

if (inputs.job.copies > COPY_LIMIT) {

// in the restricted group and printing over the limit, cancel the job

actions.job.cancelAndLog('Not allowed to print more than ' + COPY_LIMIT + ' copies.');

 

// send message to the user's client tool

actions.client.sendMessage('Your print job has been canceled because the '

+ 'number of copies (' + inputs.job.copies

+ ') was more than the maximum allowed ('

+ COPY_LIMIT + ')');

 

// log a message for debugging

actions.log.debug('Canceling job from user ' + inputs.job.username

+ ' in ' + RESTRICTED_GROUP

+ ' group because the number of copies ('

+ inputs.job.copies

+ ') was more than the maximum allowed (' + COPY_LIMIT

+ ')');

}

}

}

I now have this working, but any idea how this could be set so it also works when scanning the document and printing
