Hi there!
I have a problem with querying the pagecounter of a hp8000-printer with ifhp: I always get a pagecount of 0.
With a little tool 'qpc' I am able to query the counter of the hp8000, and the ifhp-pagecount also worked correctly with a hp5m printer and the
same ifhp-options.
I noticed that there are no entries like 'sync done' and 'end of job detected' in the status-file, like it does with the hp5m printer.
Everything is accomplished within 1 second, whereas with the hp5m it took about 30 seconds from sync to end of job.
I've also run ifhp-diagnostics to make sure that the status-, sync-, pageount- and waitend-flags are set at runtime.
I have ifhp v3.5.7-2 and lprng v3.8.10-1.2 installed.
