Tracking no. of pages printed

[Seth Galitzer]

Dina,

I found the lire log analyzer a while back (http://www.logreport.org/).
 It parses and transforms many kinds of standard log files, including
cups page_log files.  It doesn't do live tracking, but you could cron it
to run as frequently as you wanted.  It does some amazing statistical
analysis for you, and will dump output to most any (useful) format you
could think of.

Please note, I have nothing to do with this project, I just really liked
it when I tried it out a couple of months back.

I bought the HP to save on desk space, and overall it's been pretty good, but I can't control color and such as well as my Epson. I just ordered a serial/USB cable to hook up an ancient HP black and whit laser printer to my Mac, so I may be back if I can't get that to work.)
