Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]

The biggest problem is that people aren't always the ones using consumables. Printers utilize paper and toner. It's hard to associate the usage of a consumable like paper to a single user for something like an MFP.

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

Assigning/checking out a consumable to location or asset would be ideal. It would also help to track which printers are incurring the most "maintenance" without just pulling print counts on each printer.

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

A service user in Snipe-IT is what we have been using, but we only have a single service account. I have been tempted to create a service account for each printer, but I felt that could create a maintenance nightmare later.
