I activated the accounting journal copied the collected information into a

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.
