In order to make the folks who need to do 'banner page accounting' happy, I have added a new (yet another) totally whacko option to the enormous range the ifhp has. wait_for_banner - FLAG, default OFF (false) when operating in the OF filter mode and sending a banner to the printer, if this option is set then the ifhp filter will wait until the banner has been printed as determined by the normal 'end of print job' detection methods. Why do you need this option? If you have bean counters^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H who want to do accounting for every page, AND you need to separately report banner pages AND users can turn banner pages on and off: (pant pant pant pant) THEN if you set this option the accouting information will now look like: start -q pagecounter filestart -q pagecounter+bannerpages fileend -q pagecounter+bannerpages+jobpages end -q pagecounter+bannerpages+jobpages As you see, the first 'filestart' entry can be used to determine the number of banner pages. If you did NOT set this option, you would see: start -q pagecounter filestart -q pagecounter fileend -q pagecounter+bannerpages+jobpages end -q pagecounter+bannerpages+jobpages So you would not be able to determine how many banner pages were used.
