Print Quark in OSX

Here is our current situation:
We still have Quark 4.1 as our main page layout tool. Some of us have upgraded to Panther, some still in OS 9. Because we use a piece of accounting software to track our printouts (PAS by Software Metrics), those who use OSX have to make PDFs of their Quark layouts in order to print.
If you send a Quark doc directly to the printer while in OSX, it won't recognize the PAS software and the print will never go.
This dilemma has caused those still on OS 9 too rethink upgrading to OSX. Because some of them print up to 50 files (alot of them hires) a day. It would be a major time killer to have to export everything they do to a PDF in order to print.
Is there software on the market that will let you print out of Quark 4 in OSX and track your prints for billing?
Or is there some other workaround for this situation?
Thanks.

yeah I think its called a pen and a job sheet.

sounds like pressure needs to be put on software metrics to create an osx version of their software, because os x ain't going away.

Good points both. We either manually catalog every print we make or Software Metrics gets their shiot together and joins the 21st century.
Anyone aware of similar billing software of this nature that is compatible in this regard?
thanks
