Greetings,
I have an HP LaserJet 4Si (without the PostScript option installed)
on which I'd like to have page accounting enabled, but it seems that
IFHP cannot obtain a page counter value.
This is my /etc/printcap:
# /etc/printcap
#
lp:
:lp=/dev/lp0
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
:filter=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp -Ttrace,debug=1
:ifhp=model=hp4si,ps@
:of=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp
:la=TRUE
:ar=TRUE
:af=/var/spool/lpd/%P/acct
And this is the output of lpq -llll:

Does anybody have a clue why IFHP gets a zero page count value?
Thanks,
