CUPs Print Accounting System

[Ralph Fasano]

To all:

My name is Ralph Fasano, I'm the Associate VP for Computer & Network 
Services at Rhode Island School of Design, in Providence, RI.  We are 
looking at installing a print accounting system --- hopefully CUPS based 
to handle over 250 lab computers around campus.  Although we currently 
use MAC Administrator for MAC Labs, we need a cross platform print 
accounting since we also run Windows machines as well. Although we have 
found information about CUPS and the ESP Software Product,  
http://www.easysw.com/index.php  -- we don't really have the necessary 
expertise in Linux or available staff to devote to this very important 
project.  We have a deadline of September 2004 for implementation, which 
means that we need a system in place for testing this summer.  
Subsequent to LAB printers we would also like to expand this system 
campus-wide.

Can you or anyone you know help us with this project?
