LAN printer software

Anyone have any suggestions for a very basic app that'll tally up the amount of pages each user of a LAN prints on the laserjet shared on our home network? It literally just needs to tell me how many pages have been sent to the printer by each local IP...

hmmm does the driver do this ??? I mean I dunno any tool that can show you more information then the original driver and in this way ....
add a network printer
go for preferences on this printer
then go printing preferences
and then go the tab you want its just the same driver information the original PC has, too
in HPs case go for HP Toolbox in last tab (u got to use latest driver)

Mertsch: my Printing Preferences has no settings, options or anything else relating to how much printing each user is doing; perhaps other print drivers have this function, but my HP laserjet's don't...

The software definately exists; my university uses it to keep track on print credit for PC users on campus...

The print spooler shows me current jobs; I want to be able to tally up client printer usage over a period of weeks...

I know the kinda thing he's talking about

what he wants is something that will tally up the number of prints and the number of pages, rather than somethign that shows all the documents printed.

yes it tells you the details for the current job; but I want long-term tallying... Sparkesy knows what I mean!

(this thread is exhausting, I think I'll just trawl through Google for this software instead...!)
