Pagecount accounting is working normally for our LAN attached (JetDirect)
HP8100 printers. However for our local attached HP8100 (ie. :lp=/dev/lp0)
the pagecount returned is always 0.
Here's the printcap:
labpr1\
|lpt\
|lpt1\
:sh\
:ml=0\
:mx=0\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lpt1\
:lp=/dev/lp0\
:la\
:af=acct\
:as=|/usr/libexec/filters/accounting.pl start $H $n $P $k $b $t\
:ae=|/usr/libexec/filters/accounting.pl end $H $n $P $k $b $t\
:ifhp=model=hp8100,pagecount,waitend,sync\
:of=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp -q
Here's a typical output from lpq -v after printing a one page test job:
Filter_status: (of) using model 'hp8100' at 15:50:59.580
Filter_status: (of) setting up printer at 15:50:59.583
Filter_status: (of) starting OF mode passthrough at 15:50:59.583
Filter_status: (of) pagecounter 0 at 15:50:59.583
Filter_status: (of) OF process suspending at 15:50:59.585
Filter_status: (of) OF process running at 15:50:59.588
Filter_status: (of) pagecounter 0, pages 0 at 15:50:59.590
Filter_status: (of) ending OF mode passthrough at 15:50:59.591
Filter_status: (of) done at 15:50:59.591
This is a RH7.1 system with LPRng 3.8.1 and ifhp 3.4.7.
I'm too inexperienced with this to discern whether this is a software setup
problem, or a software bug, or whether something is wrong with the HP8100.
Is anyone doing pagecount accounting for local attached printers?
TIA.
