[695]1# PyKota sample configuration file
2#
3#
[2204]4# File format :
5#
6#   - A mandatory [global] section :
7#
8#     Contains configuration directives which apply for all printers.
9#     Some directives MUST be set in the [global] section, e.g.
10#     database related directives.
11#
12#   - Any number of optional [PrintQueueName] sections :
13#
14#     Contain directives which apply for a particular print queue only.
15#
16#     Override the values of the same directives present in [global].
17#
18#
19# Directives format :
20#
21#   - Directive's name, followed by ':' followed by the directive's value.
22#
23#   - No leading whitespace : leading whitespace tell the parser that the
24#     current directive is the continuation of the previous one. Use with
25#     care and only when you need it.

[2593]219# Should the database caching mechanism be enabled or not ?
220# If unset, caching is disabled. Possible values Y/N/YES/NO
[2777]221# caching mechanism works with both relationnal and OpenLDAP backends
[2593]222# but may be really interesting only with OpenLDAP.
223#
224# ACTIVATING CACHE MAY CAUSE PRECISION PROBLEMS IN PRINT ACCOUNTING

226# YOU MAY FIND IT INTERESTING ANYWAY, ESPECIALLY FOR LDAP.
227#
[2777]228# THERE'S NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS CACHING MECHANISM WILL IMPROVE
229# PERFORMANCE WITH RELATIONNAL BACKENDS. IT MIGHT EVEN MAKE
230# PERFORMANCE DECREASE. AS ALWAYS : YMMV.
231#
[2593]232# FYI, I ALWAYS SET IT TO YES !

234storagecaching: No

[2837]236
237
[2593]238# Should full job history be disabled ?
239# If unset or set to No, full job history is kept in the database.
240# Disabling the job history can be useful with heavily loaded
241# LDAP servers, to not make the LDAP tree grow out of control.
[2777]242# Disabling the job history with a relationnal backend works too
[2593]243# but it's probably less useful than with LDAP.
[2837]244#

[2876]249# Where to log ?

[1186]257# Enable debugging ? Put YES or NO there.
[2681]258# debug is set to YES in this sample configuration file, so debugging
259# is activated when configuring PyKota, which helps a lot. After all
260# works, just put NO instead to save some disk space in your logs.
261# NB : When set to YES, there is a very significant impact on performance
262# when managing many users, printers or billing codes at once, because
263# hundreds of thousands of log lines can be generated.
264# When printing a job, typically around 250-300 log lines are generated,
265# so the impact per job is really minimal. Note however that this will
266# add up over a large number of jobs.

317# If the value is not set, and the mail attribute for the user

[1227]331# Should we force usernames to be all lowercase when printing ?
332# Default is No.
[2837]333# This is a [global] option only.
[1227]334# Some people reported that WinXP sends mixed case usernames
335# setting 'utolower: Yes' solves the problem.
[1757]336# Of course you have to use lowercase only when adding
[1227]337# users with edpykota, because ALL database accesses are
338# still case sensitive.
339#
340# If utolower is Yes, the usernames received from the printing
[2476]341# system is converted to lowercase at the start of printing,
342# BUT ONLY when printing.
[1227]343#
344# If utolower is No, which is the default, strict case checking
345# is done, this means that users 'Jerome' and 'jerome' are
346# different. Printer and groups names are ALWAYS case sensitive.
[2837]347#
[1227]348utolower: No
349
[2837]350
351
[1757]352# Should we split usernames on a specific separator when printing ?
353# Default is No, i.e. if the value is unset.
[2837]354# This is a [global] option only.
[1757]355# This option adds support for Samba's Winbind utility, which
356# prefixes usernames with domain name and separator character.
357# Of course if you set this then you have to use NO separator when
358# adding users with edpykota.
359#
360# If winbind_separator is set, the usernames received from the printing
361# system are split on the separator's value, and only the last part
362# (real username) is used.
363#
364# If winbind_separator is not set, which is the default, strict
365# username equality checking will be done (modulo the setting
366# of the 'utolower' directive), this means that users 'DOMAIN1/jerome',
367# 'Domain2/jerome' and 'jerome' are different.

372
[1956]373# When creating users or groups accounts, should we reject users
374# or groups which are unknown from the system ?
375# The default if unset is NO. This means that by default, you
376# can create users or groups for which `getent passwd username`
377# or `getent group groupname` returns nothing.

387# reasons ?
388# This may be required in some countries (Italy comes to mind).
389# Allowed values are YES and NO.
390# If unset, the default value is NO, meaning that jobs' title, filename
391# and options will be saved into the history.
392# This option can't be set on a per printer basis, only into the
393# [global] section.

[2583]399# When the real CUPS backend fail, should we modify the
400# user's page counters and account balance or not ?
[2759]401# Also should we retry and if yes then how often and how many times ?
[2583]402# If you trust your users, set it to "nocharge".
403# If you think they found some mean to kill the real CUPS backend,
404# then set it to "charge".
[2759]405# If your print queues get regularly disabled by CUPS when the printers
406# are switched off, you might want to set it to "retry:N:S" where
407# N is the number of times the operation should be retried, and S is
408# the delay in seconds during which PyKota will sleep before trying again.
[2764]409# This 'retry' feature works in a way similar to Till Kamppeter's beh
410# backend wrapper which offers this functionnality but is actually not
411# compatible with PyKota (because of my own inability to master regular
412# expressions).
[2759]413# If N is 0, PyKota will retry indefinitely each S seconds until the
414# backend succeeds, so you should use this with caution. If N is 0,
415# of course neither "charge" nor "nocharge" will be honored.
416# You can combine "charge" or "nocharge" with "retry:N:S" if you want,
417# by separating the values with a comma as shown in the examples below.
[2583]418# If unset, the default value is "nocharge", meaning that users won't be
419# charged whenever a CUPS backend fails. This is the OPPOSITE
420# behavior compared to PyKota versions prior to 1.24alpha2.
421# This value can be set either globally or on a per printer basis
422# If both are defined, the printer option has priority.

447# This allows a command to overwrite the username and/or the
[2631]448# billing code used, or to deny or cancel the job.
[2385]449# If unset no command is launched and the job's username and
450# billing code are used as they are received.
451# To overwrite the job's ticket, the command has to print
452# on its standard output one or more of the following lines,
453# without any prefix or space character :
454#
455#    USERNAME=the_username_we_want_to_overwrite_with
456#    BILLINGCODE=the_billingcode_we_want_to_overwrite_with
[2803]457#    AUTH=NO (equivalent to DENY below)
[2392]458#    DENY
[2631]459#    CANCEL
[2385]460#
[2895]461# NB : the output of your command is entirely read, and the latest
462# value seen is used, so you command can output several usernames
[2385]463# or billing codes and only the latest ones will be used.
464# If only USERNAME= lines are printed, the billing code,
465# if any, is used unchanged.
466# If only BILLINGCODE= lines are printed, the username is
467# used unchanged.
[2803]468# If DENY or CANCEL is output, the username can't be overwritten.

548# What is the accounting backend to use : this defines the way PyKota
549# will compute the number of pages printed. This directive is the most
550# important one in PyKota's configuration.
[974]551#
[2837]552# NB : This directive is MANDATORY, there's no default value when not set.
[974]553#
[2837]554# Supported values :
[976]555#
[2837]556# - software([/path/to/some/script[ --with-args]])
557# - hardware(snmp[:community]|pjl[:port]|/path/to/some/script[ --with-args])
[1483]558#
[2837]559# Hardware asks the printer for its lifetime page counter through either
560# SNMP, PJL-over-TCP, or through any command of your choice. This is
561# the recommended way to use PyKota, although it might not work with some
562# printers. The page counter is asked twice per job : before the job
563# is sent to the printer, and after it has been entirely sent.
564# The big advantages of hardware accounting are lighter CPU usage compared
565# to software accounting described below, although it can take more time
566# because of necessary internal counter stabilization delays, and the fact
567# that paper jams don't cause users to be charged for pages they couldn't
568# print.
569# For hardware accounting, two special values are accepted in addition
570# to a script name : snmp and pjl. 'snmp' asks PyKota to use its internal
571# SNMP code, 'pjl' asks PyKota to internally send a specially crafter PJL
572# job to the printer's TCP port 9100 (by default).
[1746]573#
[2837]574# Software counts pages by parsing the print job's datas, either internally
575# when no script is specified, or through any script of your choice.
576# This works with ALL printers, provided you've got a script to parse
577# datas produced by your printer driver. PyKota's internal parser, also
578# available under the name 'pkpgcounter', recognizes several page description
579# languages, but may occasionally fail for some printer drivers.
580# You can however use any other command, provided it can read the datas to
581# parse from its standard input, and prints a single integer on its standard
582# output, representing the number of pages in the print job.
583# Software accounting unfortunately may overcharge users in case of paper
584# jams.
[1746]585#
[2837]586# You can get hints on which configuration is best for your printers by
587# typing : pkturnkey --doconf
[1746]588#
[2837]589# In the lines below "%(printer)s" is automatically replaced at run time
590# with your printer's Fully Qualified Domain Name for network printers,

958# *not* be included in the accounting for the print job
959#
960# IMPORTANT : CUPS generated banners are ALWAYS accounted for, although you
961#             can refund them by using negative prices on printers.
962#
963# Allowed values : Starting | Ending | None | Both
964#
965#       - Starting : only the starting banner will be accounted for.
966#       - Ending : only the ending banner will be accounted for.

1094#
1095# This can be defined either globally or on a per printer basis
