I am posting and emailing this because this information could benifit a lot of  
people.

To reset the printer accounting logs, do a 

/usr/etc/pac -m -s -Pprinter_name

This will summarize the accounting file into a file with the ending _sum.   
This is a good thing to do if you have a heavy usage printer as the printer  
accounting file can grow by large amounts.  The -s option means to summarize.
Check the man pages for more information.
