Hi

Oh there is a misunderstanding. Just imagine:
There was a printer enrollement from approximateli 500 new printers. The
Administrator (not me) just have definied the new Printer queues. The old
Printerqueues was not deletet at that time. Now, i have to find out which are
the old Printerqueues and then delete them.

All the Printserver a just working fine. Somme off the queues dont have a
physicli printer behind and somme queues are still on the server but no user
have a connetion to that queues or no user are using that queues. It would be
nice to find out at which time the queue was the last time used. Or just to
delete the queue, if this was not used in the past tree month.

How can i do that?

Thanks for your help
Tiago
