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

I thought that was implied by my response but it's always better to be explicit. I think you're correct on page reporting for *LAN devices but it's been a while since I needed both *LAN and job accounting so I can't be sure.

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

Yes, remote output queues should be the choice of last resort, used only when stuck with a printer that isn't (or can't be) properly recognised as a *LAN device. Ideal of course is to CHOOSE a *LAN supported printer before purchasing.
