LRS also provides several PCMDxxxx keywords that can reduce the need
for multiple definitions for the "same" printer. These keywords provide various
methods of "injecting" printer commands to control pagination, duplex, fonts
etc. For example:
PCMDSTRT=(FPS13266,FPS13266,&WRITER), PRINTER COMMANDS AT START
PCMDEND=(FPS13266,FPS13266), PRINTER COMMANDS AT
END
Also, VPS user exit 7 (VPSSUE07), if ENABLEed, is the exit responsible
for SMF recording. By default, VPS records SMF type 6 records for printer
activity.

LRS provides a report of printer use, if you are collecting the SMF, If you
don't have 13 months of data then make sure to sample month end, quarter end
and year end processing dates... if not, you may miss some limited use printers.
