That too. I believe we are talking about the same thing. If 2 jobs are
being printed back-to-back, then the missing pages from the first job
get added to the second one. If there is a sufficiently long pause
(10 seconds for my 4050) between the 2 print jobs, then that does not
happen, but the second print job gets under-counted.

My point was, if some percentage of your print jobs have 0 page count,
you should also suspect that the other, non-zero-page-count print jobs
are not counted correctly.

I tried that once a while back, and as fas as I can remember, it
didn't solve the problem. But I will try it again. Thanks.

All:
I have been thinking of using the status helper feature of the newer
versions of ifhp to query the printer continuously until the pagecount
stabilizes. Does anyone have any experience with that?
