Hi,

I'd like to implement print accounting on my network, and was hoping to
solicit opinions from others on the list as to what packages people are
using for this, and how they find them.

I've looked (briefly) into the standard lprng accounting, which seems to
just do page counts, and at printbill, which can be found at:-

http://ieee.uow.edu.au/~daniel/software/printbill/

The latter seems to do more detailed accounting - actually dealing with
toner coverage on a page, but has a somewhat more complex set up and
higher overhead. Also, I'm not looking to quota people (yet), just to
account for the paper/toner they use, and be able to get a comprehensive
report on who has used what, so our accounting department can berate them.

Does anyone have any experiences, positive or negative, that they want
to relate, or any suggestions as to the best way to go about this?

TIA,

Mike.
