OT: How to identify print job origination

[Beth Agnew]

The print server usually tracks the time, origin, destination, and page 
counts of each job it handles. You'd have to find the log or queue file 
to which it writes this data. Whoever is responsible for 
configuring/administering the printers on your network should know where 
this file is, or you can locate it yourself with some sleuthing.

If you cannot discern the culprits from the data in the print server 
log, you may want to get a tool such as WatchDog Print Monitor 
(http://www.adiwatchdog.com/) which costs about US $500 for a server 
license.
