For a total number you can use performance monitor to monitor the spooler, and you could audit access to printers by enabling auditing, but I honestly don't know if you can monitor the number of pages printed per user in Windows. If it's a network printer it may support SNMP, which may give sufficient info for per-user reports. I've never been really happy with the built-in reporting functionality in Windows. There are several software packages available to use agents to monitor and report events.
