Hello,

I have spent the past several hours trying to print my thesis on the w20thesis printer in the student center. Unfortunately someone with the username ikari has been printing pages and pages of data (clearly non-thesis), for well over two hours. I have queued my thesis files after this user, and I am concerned that they will not print, or that the documents will be discarded. How can I ensure that I am able to pick up the pages if and when they print out, possibly by the morning? 

Also, is there any way to report a user who is misusing this printer?

I am only able to print after I get out of work, and that is why I am in a bind. The theses are due at the end of this week, and I need to print mine and obtain signatures, etc. Please tell me what I can do to make sure that I can print my thesis in time. It is a large file, near 200 megs.

Thank you
