Enable server side page logging given presence of client side PPD

[Ryan Lovett]

Summary: I can print from a client successfully, but there is no entry in the server's page.log. There is a record in error.log. The client machine is a Mac running 10.6.8 and the server is running Ubuntu 8.04. How can I make sure that the server logs page totals given a PPD on the client machine? Can users install arbitrary PPDs that enable them to hide from page accounting?

Server has in printers.conf:

	<Printer lp1>
		Info lp1
		Location Lab
		DeviceURI socket://printer-address:9100
		State Idle
		StateTime 1323462069
		Accepting Yes
		Shared Yes
		JobSheets none none
		QuotaPeriod 0
		PageLimit 0
		KLimit 0
		OpPolicy default
		ErrorPolicy retry-job
	</Printer>

and in cupsd.conf:

	<Location /printers/lp1>
		Require valid-user
		AuthType Basic
		AuthClass User
	</Location>

and in server's and client's ppd:

	*PCFileName: "HPP00014.PPD"
	*Product: "(HP LaserJet 500 color M551)"

Client has:
