Not exactly, as I was not using PS (tcp port 515) to connect to the printer, but telnet to port 9100, that is bi-directional and where I can read the page count. I am digging along the line of netgraph, but ther eis no netgraph for parallel port :( Thank you, Olivier _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
