I have built a Debian 5 install on an old machine I have laying around
work, and I want a free/cheap solution to my print server problem.

I have a print manager for Windows that will limit the number of pages
a person prints to X and denies over X. I want to do the same thing in
linux so that my staff does not have to approve every print job that
goes through the server.

I have spent the last 2 weeks looking for a solution in linux with
little success.

man 1 lpadmin

look for the "-o job-page-limit=value" option
