Is there a way to setup a counter on a particular networked printer to let me know the usage? I've looked on the Print Server but nothing jumps out at me. I'm running Windows 2000 Advanced Server.

Depending on the printer, it may be possible to output a status or configuration page directly from the printer's front panel. Somewhere on one of those outputs you can often find the number of sheets that have been printed totally.

Unfortunately these are HP1200's they don't even offer a front panel. I guess I'll have to try something else.

thanks
