Does anyone have a filter program that will count Postscript
pages before the file goes to the printer?  I've taken a quick 
look at the Postscript language and believe such a program would 
be possible.  It's certainly more involved that looking at the 
size of the file, but definately possible.

I'm looking for a way to do some accounting on printer usage.  If
anyone has any total package solutions I would be interested in
hearing about them.
