[comp.unix.admin] printer accounting setup

turk@peter.cs.andrews.edu (Daniel Turk, CSH 215-D,471-3426,473-) (06/24/91)

Hi!  I one of the support team members for our UNIX network.  We are
running DEC ULTRIX machines (5000's and 2100's) using nfs and yellow
pages to tie the systems together.

I am wanting to set up a printer accounting system so I can keep track
of who prints how many pages.....  We need to charge for laser printer
usage.....  I am trying to modify the printcap file and build my own
shell script to do the accounting and am not being successful.  Any info
on this subject (how to do it, where to look to learn how, etc.) would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!  Have a good day!

Dan Turk
