You'll use this tool to create, manage or delete print quota entries for users or users groups on printers or printers groups.

By default, before being allowed to print through PyKota, an user must exist in the database and have a print quota entry on every printer he should be allowed to use. As seen in the previous chapter, the simplest way to add an user named jerome to the database is to type :

    
$ pkusers --add jerome
But this is not sufficient to allow user jerome to print. You have to create a print quota entry for jerome on all printers he is allowed to print to. The easiest way to do so is to type :
    
$ edpykota --add jerome

The commands above have created user jerome in the database, and have automatically created print quota entries with no limit for this user on all existing printers. This means that user jerome is allowed to print without limitation, but that full accounting will still be done for this user : you'll know whenever he prints and how much.

Here's an incomplete list of features :
