Block printer for one user

I am in the process of setting up Astaro in my home. I am going to require all my kids to authenticate to astaro so I can control what they do. My daughter has the habbit of wasting lots of paper in the printer. What rule can I put in that would stop her from printing. My printer is on my LAN, it's not connected with a USB.

The astaro does not control this... you can control printer access by forcing authentication on the windows workstation that has the printer attached to it. Astaro controls WAN / Internet Access, not LAN access.

I guess you could add it to a DMZ and put time rules in place but Bruce is right, this problem is not really for a firewall to resolve.

you could try the linux CUPS approach
