Count Pages Printed for Win 9x clients?

[lameid]

Is there a way to get NT server to log the number of pages printed for 9x clients?

Just in case it makes a difference, one printer is a Hp LJ5si and the second is a Hp LJ4+

Background info...
I am attempting to do an analysis to find which people in the building are printing the most number of pages (I'm trying to get an additional workgroup printer or multifunction unit close to the people who print the most). I have started dumping the system events to text files and I'm pulling out the pages printed for each job in an Access App. I need data to start collecting NOW as the copier maintainance agreement is running short and we may want to avoid renewal if a multifunction device makes sense.

Thanks for any help in advance.

hope this helps:

assuming your print server runs on WINNT server
1. go to your print server.
2. open the Event viewer
3. click on the [/b]System log[/b]. there you will find all print jobs that was processed by your server.

if your print server runs on Win2K as well as your PC,
1. right click your My Computer desktop icon and select Manage.
2. on the Computer Management window, right click the computer management root and select Connect to another computer...
3. browse for your print server or type its name on the textbox.
4. once connected, click on the Event Viewer, and select the System log. there you will find all print jobs that was processed by your server.

My problem is that the system log does not have the number of pages for Win 9x clients... All NT based clients do show the number of pages.
