Open Source Print Cost Management

Hello,

I am wondering if anyone here knows of a good open source print cost management system for a medium-sized campus to use.

Essentially we just need a system that will charge people a cernatin amount per page printed. If that system can be linked via LDAP to another system, all the better! But let me know of any and all systems you may know of that may be open source.

Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Chris K.
