What is printing after hours
Is there a way to find out what printed on a printer after hours. We have two printers and someone is printing large reports or documents late at night and we want to be able to figure out what is printing to the printer.
Are the printers network attached or local? Do the print queues reside on a server? You can turn on logging to display what jobs have printed and the user name that did the printing. I can provide more detail is this sounds like your situation.
Some printers have built-in job logs. What model printer is this?
There is also software that will monitor and log all print jobs. See for example:

You still have not told us what model printer we are talking about, so I don't know if your printer supports job logs.
However, everhost's solution may be all you need. It won't tell you how much was printed, but at least you'll know who and when. It will only work if you print via a server PC, not a "printserver", which is a small box to attach a non-networked printer to the network.
