- From the cups manual, this has the keyword quota.

QuotaPeriod
Examples

<Printer name>
  ...
  QuotaPeriod 604800
</Printer>

Description

The QuotaPeriod directive defines the value of the job-quota-period
attribute. Typical values are 86400 (1 day), 604800 (1 week), 2592000
(1 month), and 31536000 (1 year). It is set using the lpadmin(8)
command:

/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printername -o job-quota-period=604800

This directive must appear inside a Printer or DefaultPrinter
