Northwoods Inc.是一个服务于当地只有八人的小型的地产公司。他们的网络由八个Windows XP工作站接连在基于网络的工作组上。无限的网络访问也提供了笔记本电脑的代理。对于每月彩色打印机的使用情况职员在自愿的基础上接受跟踪和支付的管理。
系统必须容易设置并且要维护不是全日制工作的IT职员。
系统必须在Windows工作组环境下操作。
职员都要有无限的访问权限（如：没有预算）。
Staff need to allocate their printing to projects and cost centers so printing and drafting costs can be passed back onto the clients (chargeback).
管理员必须访问查看及时的报表。
每月打印帐单的数据应该能够以Excel表格的形式显示。
工作组环境是一个共同的小网络。他们不同于域的环境是因为他们通过服务器集中鉴别。用户可以以“用户”身份的使用系统自动登录或可以登录到他们本地的工作站。更多以这种方式在工作组环境里安装PaperCut NG的信息，请查看 第二十二章, 在工作组环境下运行的相关内容。
Shared accounts can be created to represent the current projects with sub-accounts used to represent areas under these projects (sub-projects). The client popup software can be enabled on user accounts forcing users to allocate printing to the project/client. In addition, the advanced client popup will allow premiums to be charged for special printing such as reporduction of expensive mylar film.
Selected staff can run monthly or quaterly invoice reports at any time to quickly determine printing associated with a given client/project. More information on shared accounts and reporting can be found in Chapter 8, Shared Accounts.
