Delaying printing

A customer report that users cannot delay printing. If a user need to print
a document (or a file) at a given time (let's say, at 10 PM) they don't know
the way to get the result they want.

Users use XP or Windows 7 clients and printers are shared by Windows Server
2003 servers.

A possible solution could be creating printers with time limitation and
instruct users use them, but it's a complex solution and doesn't allow
ussers selecting the time they need (can be during the night, early in the
morning, at lunch time, or so on).

How can a single user define the time a file will be printed?

Regards

Mario

At the place where I work, we use SafeQ print solution which has "Follow Me"
delayed print functionality.
http://www.safeq.eu/usage/secured-po...functionality/

However, "delayed" means that the printout is delayed until the moment we
walk to the printer and place the (contactless) card near the reader.

You could achieve the described functionality (for example allow printing
between 10:00 PM and 9:00 AM) by opening Printer Properties. Select Change
Properties. Select Advanced tab. Adjust "Available from ... to ..." setting.
With this arrangement users can send print jobs which will sit in a print
queue until the time for printing is reached.

I understand this is clumsy, but I believe it can also be solved
programatically via scheduled script or some program.
