We use software called “Papercut”. It wasn’t expensive, and is really very easy to use. It can also be managed by multiple users if you set it up to be web-accessible. (Our office staff uses it to allot printing permission to approved grad students, for instance.)
You can download and try it without charge, if you want. They’ve got a 40-day evaluation period.
Have fun!

We use Printer Accounting Server from Equitrac, and it works quite well. Their site is http://www.metrics.com/Products/PAS/

Does have any personal experience with a low cost Printer Accounting software solution that works with Microsoft OS servers? I would like to track usage and enforce quotas.
Thanks in advance,
