Multiple User Codes for Printing

We have a client that has been having an issue with people going a little nuts with the color printing, and as such we've implemented user codes on the printer so we can at least determine who the culprit is. However, this requires having a user code enabled in the Job Log for the printer. I'm wondering if anyone knows a graceful way to distribute these codes in a printer preset so that each machine is given the user's individual printing code without having to manually go in and configure this for each user?

I found a similar question here:

But doesn't address separate codes for each user. Currently they are working from Open Directory and OS ranging from 10.7-10.10. Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

Regards

Hard to say without knowing the printer model you're using but it may be an option in the PPD depending on how the vendor makes use of those user codes.
