The CUPS version that we use has no support for quotas built in, and 
there is no standalone solution for quotas.

If you mean just accounting - counting the pages based on user, then 
there is a crude mechanism where CUPS prints a log to 
/var/log/cups/page.log. However, that file is all. You will have to 
parse it and make reports. Not a big job, but nobody has done it yet.
