Is there any way one can disable the little window in microsoft Office so that a 
patron has to go to File-Print--Okay for each and every copy he wants instead of 
just being able to print off 100 at a time?

My public library offers free printing, and we get people who print off dozens of 
copies of documents--for example, a resume, and then find an error and fix it and 
then print off dozens more, wasting all the copies they had just done.

Then, of course, there is the 2 to 3 times a week visits from the Prank Lord, who 
prints several hundred copies of "Ha-HA you've just bin pranked by the Prank Lord."

We really cannot have a librarian sit at the reference desk doing nothing but 
monitoring the print queue to see which of our 24 PC's the jobs are coming from.   
Also, once the job has spooled, it cannot be cancelled.  We can press "Cancel Job" 
on the lasar printer, but then that just causes the printer to loop through and 
begin printing the entire job all over again.  Maybe the printer has 
obsessive-compulsive disorder or something.
