Simon, et al.

All the more reason to abandon remote outq's as much as possible and use *LAN devices - those WILL report the pages, I believe.

Of course, some printers don't work with devices, but that is relatively few, I hope.

I guess that's reasonable. The local system isn't actually "printing"
the spooled file therefore there is no "cost" to be charged back (Job
accounting's primary purpose). The actual "print" function is
performed at the remote system so the "cost" of printing
(consumables) should be determined there. Admittedly, this seems to
make little sense when the remote system *IS* the printer but I can
see why it works this way.


If not all pages are printed one page gets missed, that means if
you print
page 3 to page 5 only 2 pages are counted (instead of 3!!!)


That seems like a defect to me and should be reported with repeatable
test cases.

Simon Coulter.
