.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX  "pac command"  ""  "\fLpac\fP \(em printer/plotter accounting"
.IX  "printer/plotter accounting"
.B pac
reads the printer/plotter accounting files, accumulating the number
of pages (the usual case) or feet (for raster devices)
of paper consumed by each user, and printing out
how much each user consumed in pages or feet and dollars.
The accounting file is taken from the 
.B af
field of the 
.B printcap 
entry for the printer. If any
.IR username s
are specified, then statistics are only printed for those users;
usually, statistics are printed for every user who has used any paper.
