Hi Patrick,
REF: Problem with page count in "acct" file
===========================================
I have installed LPRng-3.6.19 and ifhp-3.3.17 on my SGI Indigo2
as you suggested to me a few days ago.
I think I still have the same problem as with the previous
version. That is, the last end "END ..........." is still missing.
Also, the "file start" & "file end" still give '-p0'.
I have copied the "accounting.pl" from UTILS of LPRng-3.6.19 to
/usr/local/libexec/filters.
The printcap has "as" and "ae" specified as before.
The log details are as follows:

I shall be most grateful if you could check what's wrong with the
"acct" file PLEASE!
If the "acct" file is fixed later on, is there any other utility
or program around the process the "acct" file so that the output
would ONLY give a summary of how many pages each user have printed.
How to reset the "acct" file? Create an empty "acct" file
immediately after having processed the accounts summary?
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Many thanks,
Ray
