What you are after is called quota in computer terminology. It means to control how much of a resource any user/computer/application is a allowed to consume. Some quota management capabilities are built directly into the operating system like disk quotas on Unix and Windows. If you're looking for printing quotas on Windows you're out of luck though. You'll have to either look for third party software solutions or, if your printer is one the network enabled kind, that does not need a print server, you can contact your printer's manufacturer to see if they have a solution built in.

For third party vendors of Printing Quota Management Software feel free to google this yourself.
