Hey, great, I never thought of this. Really.


What will happen, I thinks, is that page counts will be merged by printer 
name. Well, theorically, this won't be a problem since in a network 
printers should have a unique name. Anyway, the problem won't occur at 
the database level, because each job has two fields : "server" 
and "printer". So, the disambiguation can be made easily later at 
JASmine-Web's level.

But at the moment, JASmine-Web doesn't do this, because by design printer 
names are unique, I mean, a single printer can be shared by multiple cups 
servers and sees its page counts merged together.

Anyway, if you print 10 pages then 15 pages on the same printer but using 
two servers, the printer will be actually accounted 25 page but server1 
will get 10 pages and server2 15 pages.

Thanks for pointing that ;-) ! Anyway, I don't think there is a need to 
modify this for now. I should, on the other hand, put this in a FAQ...
