What if someone installed a laser printer, and people actually used
it?

Obviously, there's going to be better planning next time a printer is
installed :).

Lets see, offhand, some choices are:

- Find money to run the printer.
- Give users a quota, perhaps a daily quota.
- Restrict the type of usage allowed.
- Encourage students to use X based previewers.
- Tutor them in efficient usage of resources.
- Make them pay for their own use.

Why not ask students what they think would be a good idea? After all,
they're your customers.
