ABSTRACT:
Various systems, methods, and programs embodied in computer readable mediums are provided for print production cost accounting. In one embodiment, a pre-print cost of a print production of a document by an image forming device is stored in a memory. The print production of the document by the image forming device is initiated after the pre-print cost is stored in the memory. Then, a post-print cost of the print production of the document by the image forming device is generated if the print production of the document is completed. A user is charged the post-print cost if the post-print cost is available before the pre-print cost has been stored in the memory for a predefined period of time.
