How can I limit the number of attempts to print a web page

I am trying to find a solution to a problem on our network.
We run several kiosk machines that allow customers to print documents and web pages. However, we find that we are wasting a lot of ink because of the user frequently sending the same print job on the printer.
Yesterday we had someone print more than 70 pages, because they just keep clicking on print.
I tried looking for an add-on that would solve this but was not able to find one.
My question is this, is there an internal setting that can be changed in firefox to limit the number of prints is trying to say once every 30 seconds, or even a way to make a dialog box turns on screen saying that the print request is currently dealing and does nor print before completing the task at hand.

Sorry, there no setting in Firefox to avoid that from happening. Once the user sees the "native print dialog" box (which is seen when you Ctrl + P for print), the operating system and the printer drivers are here.

I saw something similar to that on kiosk / PC rental stores Office of FedEx, which inform the user of the cost per page, the user wants to send to a printer, and when the user click again to the same pages again, he asked if you want to spend another $x.xx to print a second copy. Would not too different to simply cut the printing of multiple copies of the same document and warn the user of this action.

My advice is to discuss it with anyone who put in place these kiosks to be with.

  • How can I limit the number libraries which is to find Photos

    How can I limit the number libraries which is to find pictures?

    I have about 10 libraries I've migrated opening today.

    I followed the advice I got from leonie, (level 10) below.

    Photos will create a new library of Photos in your iPhoto library.  The new library will be named as the iPhoto, with the extension ".photoslibrary" library and your original library will have a new file name extension ".migratedphotolibrary".  Rename the resulting ".photolibrary", so you will always be able to open in Aperture. The icons of libraries will change also. New photo library will display an icon of 'fan photos' with the flower of the Rainbow.


    So, I have now two files in my folder "Images".   One is called "Photo library" (these are ALL of .photoslibrary) the other is 'BACKUP ONLY iPhoto libraries' (these are ALL of .photolibrary).

    When I hold down the option key and start the Photos is to find all the libraries of two files above. How can I say Photos don't not to look in the old folder "iPhoto library"?

    This isn't a feature of Photos

  • How can I limit the number of times a number is used in its range at random?

    Hello everyone.

    This is my first post on the Adobe forums so please bear with me if I violate the unwritten rules of "best practices".

    Here's what I'm trying to achieve:

    • Create a grid of 12 x 9;
    • Fill cells with random numbers, ranging from 1 to 9;
    • Assign a symbol (custom chart) for each cell that is dependent on what random number is generated
    • Limit the number of times each random number is 12.

    My question is simple: how, using AS3, create a random numbers function that will use that each number in its range a maximum of 12 times (it is important to note that my template includes 108 cells using the numbers from 1 to 9 exactly 12 times each)? So, for example, if the random numbers function fills the 12 cells with the number '4', it will be then exclude the number of remaining iterations.

    I am adhering to standards-oriented programming script OBJECT including in frames of the actual chronology is not desirable. Thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to offer me a few minutes of their time to help out me!

    12 times 1, 12 2...

  • How can I limit the number of Web sites on the new tab page?

    Is there a setting where I can limit the number of thumbnails / Web sites that appear on the new tab page? When I opened a new tab - I don't want to see tons of sites I have visited - but also, I don't want to delete them all. For example - there is a setting where the new tab page displays the last ten sites I've visited - with all my pinned sites?

    There are two settings 'hidden' for this 'grid '.

    Browser.newtabpage.Columns

    and

    Browser.newtabpage.Rows

    Type of topic: config in the URL bar and press ENTER.

    So put . browser.newtabpage in the top search bar.

    Each of these preferences in the lower panel right-click and select Edit. Then change the value default of 3 for each of these preferences to what you prefer, for "pinned" both sites all browsing history you want to appear in the 'grid '.

  • How can I limit the number of rows in a text input field?

    I don't want to have it scrolling. For example If the field has four lines the user is writing the fourth lineand give such ENTER or continue type up to are no longer on this line, I don't want to create in the fifth line text field. Il a do?

    An approach here is to limit the number of lines, someone else might have a different approach... "tf" is the name of the instance of the textfield object.

    tf.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, checkNumLines);

    function checkNumLines(evt:Event):void {}
    If (TF.numLines > 4) {/ / deletion of the last typed character}
    TF. Text = String (tf.text).slice(0,tf.length-1);
    }
    }

  • How can I control the number of clients connecting to one or more access points?

    Hi guys,.

    I am using several access points LWAPP/CAPWAP (1010, 1131, 1142) connected to the 4400 series wlan controllers (OS Version 4.2 and 7.0).

    I have an iPhone 6 and use Verizon as my server. How can I increase the number of rings until it go to voicemail?

    You can not. There is no adjustment to make on a phone. In fact, it is not based on the number of rings, it is a problem of synchronization based on the parameters of the call. You can contact Verizon to see if they can increase at that time here, but even if they can, it won't be much, only a few seconds if they do at all.
