Tracking a print job

[Guest]

I work for a school system and we have approx. 80 PCs in the Media Center with 6 laser printers. Sometimes huge print jobs are sent and the user who sent it leaves. Is there a way to find out what computer the print job came from so I can delete it? To my knowledge, separator pages only show the user and I don't see a switch for a custom page that would show the client. I don't know if it would show on a banner page because I can't get one to print. We are using HP 4000 laserjet printers with internal JetDirect cards. The clients use TCP/IP ports

Thanks
Chris

Have you got a print server (and what OS is it running)?

I do not have a print server although I am not totally against setting one up. Right now I am doing direct TCP/IP printing to the printer.
