Very much so! Many schools are asking for this. There is quota options in  
cups, but I fear cups don't speak that good with ldap either. Quotas in  
kprinter/cups works fine on kubuntu and debian, but so far I haven't been  
able to get it working in debian-edu < 3.0. For 3.0 I haven't tried yet.  
I'll try to install 3.0 next week.
