Hi PaperCutterAI, That worked with some tweaking. There was a missing closed parenthesis and I changed the remaining "group" to "user" and it was able to cancel the job after reaching the monthly group limit. Now, I need to test either sending a denied email or popup notification. Thanks, Judy

[h=2]PaperCut Script Monthly Group Color Limit[/h] I want to limit the number of monthly color printing for a specific group. I edited the daily color limit script but I'd like to make sure it's correct before testing. My concern is the !inputs.user.isInGroup() group code. I want the 200 monthly limit to apply to the group and not to the individual. So, if the group color count hits 200 then no one in the group can no longer print. I'd also like to know if I have the monthly code correct as well. Thanks! /* * Monthly color page limit * * Sometimes, a high price tag just isn't enough to discourage users from * printing in color.

Thank you! This worked and I was able to add a snippet so that it sends them an email.

I am trying to modify the daily color page limit script but I only want to restrict if for one person. What code can I use so that it targets a specific username? Here's the current script: /* * Daily color page limit * * Sometimes, a high price tag just isn't enough to discourage users from * printing in color.
