You may want to have a look at PrintAgent; a component of
PrintingWorks. PrintingWorks is a complete open source print
accounting solution.
PrintAgent is compatible with clients printing from windows. It will
allow you to authenticate clients who wish to printing against a
directory service regardless of whether they are not bound to that
directory.
This makes PrintAgent perfect for unmanaged laptops at schools,
universities or institutes who do not require laptops to be bound to a
directory system when attached to the network.
Details on PrintAgent is available from : http://www.lucidsystems.org/printingworks/printagent/
A quick presentation of the system in action is available from : http://www.lucidsystems.org/printingworks/
Hopefully this helps.
