[K12OSN] Print Quota

[Mark Sarria]

I found a Webmin module, I wonder if it can do the same thing as PyKota.

According to something I read....PyKota also supports using LDAP in leiu
of Postgres....can anyone attest to this?  If I'm running a Samba/LDAP
server with all of my users on it....it makes sense for me to simply use
that for authentication for printing.  Anyone?
