Ryan:

I have a similar problem with our 4050 printer here, and I believe that
a '0' page count for small print jobs (1-2 pages) also means
under-counting for all other, bigger print jobs. Are you sure your
non-zero print counts are correct?

I found that a sufficiently large 'pagecount_poll_end'  value fixes
this problem for print jobs of all sizes.

All:

I emailed HP about this but never received a response, so let me ask
this here:
My 4050 printer (and, to a lesser extent, all other printers) always
return the status of 'IDLE' before printing actually stops, presumably
due to buffering. Is there any way at all to make the printer report
the real idle status when it really is idle--after printing is
actually completed?
