Printer user id tag

Answered Printer user id tag

    I am running Server 2008 R2.  One of my servers plays the role of file server and print server.  I was wondering if there is a way to make the print server put a user id tag on every print-out.  For example:    sends a Word doc to the network printer he is defaulted to.  I would like a small id tag (ie: User1) printed at the top or bottom of the page printed.  Is this something supported by Server 2008 R2?

    Use Separator pages.  This is a separate piece of paper.  If you are looking to print the user name on the document, you would need to get someone to provide special software.

    Ratage:

    One of the guys on the support team asked my group this same question.  Did you create a support "ticket" on this?

    If printer driver supports watermarks (like Xerox GPD), you can go a tricky way changing watermark text to the user id.
