Accounting is one of those things that really depends on your local situation and usually involves you writing some scripts to deal with the accounting output from your printer filter. The LPRng package handles this very nicely. It can be found at dickory.sdsu.edu in /pub/LPRng. It compiles cleanly on FreeBSD, and it passes the compatibility tests so you don't need to run them.
