As it stands now, the error message reads:
The print quota system is not currently in service. Pages that you
print will not count towards your print quota. However, the print
servers are still logging printer usage, and abusing Athena print
resources is a violation of the Athena Rules of Use.
This means that if you go a little over quota, it won't matter, but if you
abuse the fact that the quota system is currently not working,
by say printing out all of Shakespeare's plays, people will notice
and take some sort of action.
Thank you for drawing this to our attention. I hope things are now
clearer.
