CUPS: no accounting on the w2k server (and that's bad!)

[giacomo boffi]

i'd like to print on a printer connected to a w2k server, where i have
an account, and all is well using CUPS and a smb://blabla url...

what's my problem then?

well, the accounting records on the server have that all my print jobs
are 0 (zero) page long, like this

01/03/2005,19.51.40,Print,Informazioni,Nessuno,10,xxxxx01\boffi,xxxxx,"Il
documento 18, Documento remoto a bassa priorita appartenente a boffi e
stato stampante su Xerox Document Centre 470 PS attraverso la porta
IP_xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Dimensione: 1879231 byte; numero pagine stampate: 0. "
----------------------------------------------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

with the premises that the alternatives are:

 - to be banned from the superfast departmental printers and be
   restricted to the old laser on my desk,

 - to be charged in a _very_ punitive manner for my prints

what could i do, either on the CUPS side or on the w2k one, to have my
jobs properly accounted on w2k?

any help would be deeply appreciated,
