I had a quick look at PrintBill (but not PyKota). I doubt if its a real
choice.

It requires a modification of the PPDs, which might conflict with the
call of foomatic-rip in PPDs from linuxprinting.org.

The required PrintBill daemon has the comment that it was never designed
to be secure, and you should never rely on its security.

PrintBill website is:
	http://ieee.uow.edu.au/~daniel/software/printbill/index.shtml
but it looks like that the software wasn't updated / modified for a
long time (> 1 year).

Sorry for the bad news.

Regards,
	Klaus.
