	Unfortunately, the short answer is "you can't".  PostScript is a
real programming language with loops and functions.  One could, if they
wanted, write the PS version of "for = 1 to 1000000, print 'hello'" and
unless your printer accounting software had a full postscript interpreter
in it, there would be no way to know that this little 1-line print file
would produce thousands of pages of output.

	In practice, however, most programs which produce PS output are
fairly well behaved and produce "%%Page" comments at the appropriate places
in the PS file, and don't do any looping.  It would be straight-forward to
parse the file and look for those, but you would only be able to account
for usage by honest people using well-behaved programs.
