Subject: print accounting

Hi all,
We have just centeralized our print services to one sun machine,
handeling unix mac and PC printing with LPRng, samba, and atalk.
We would like to be able to do some form of print accouting on our
colout laser. LPRng has this feature, so accounting unix is simple.
Samba requires a log on to print, so we can account windows. But all mac
printing gets piped to lprng as user root (or whatever we set the "op"
flag to in the papd.conf file).
If we are going to do accounting we need something better than this. We
don't even need a username, the name of the mac that sent the print job
would be fine.
Is there anyway to do this?
Thanks.
