Can someone please tell me how I would reset the logs.  Do I have to  
delete the log and then recreate it?  Also, is there a way that I can  
change the $.02 to something of my choice?

Thanks,
Jason Heideloff

P.S.  Please e-mail me.  I don't check this group too often.

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.
