LPRng writes a wealth of information into the the accounting file,
including the username and the number of pages printed per job (assuming
you have a printer which supports page counts). It is up to you to write
the logic to do quota limits into the accounting script.
We don't do "quotas" here, but we do bill user's for every page printed.
We modified the perl accounting script to store the username in a database
and increment their "total pages printed" which the page count from each
job.
This is really pretty easy stuff because a sample acct.pl script is
included with LPRng. You just need to flesh it out with your site
specific stuff. I'd be happy to share our scripts and printcap if you're
interested.
