The only package that I managed to find which can do what you
want for both Macs and PCs is called Printer Accounting Server. You
can find a link to it from http://www.sunbelt-software.com/
The other way to do it, which costs much more, is to either
buy Mac Administrator Server which can track printer usage for the
Macs or buy Dave for each Mac because it authenticates against the NT
domain and then the Macs are treated the same way the Windowss
clients are for authentication and logging.
