Small console utility for management and Samba printers. PrintCtl is a software intended first of all for the managers of networks that need to set the printer with some intervals of availability.
For example: the chief has put a task - printer should not work in holidays. Per working days should work under the following circuit: 9-00 - 11-00 prints, 11-00 - 14-00 does not print, 14-00 - 19-00 prints, 19-00 - 9-00 does not print. To realize such circuit by means NT it is not obviously possible, but with use of the given utility and sheduler - no problems.
The task can seem far-fetched, but it is the severe truth of life. I shall be very glad, if this program will be useful.
