We use a combination of banner pages that give info on the user that is 
printing the job and an older woman named Mabel who's worked many years 
here and has worked long enough to hate her job, so she's really tough 
on people when it comes to keeping accurate records.  Since she's been 
here so long and is good friends with a couple of the higher ups no one 
dares question her authority for fear of making their lives miserable or 
  having their print job mysteriously "jam" the printer and get shredded.
