Sorry, that was not good formulated: What I want is not getting the
pagecount for accounting, but rather for giving the user all the
info the printer gives back (via lpq -l) so he can see the progress
of the job. Accounting is fine as it is now. But maybe option
"statusall" is the right thing - the problem is then just to separate
all the informations - see next paragraph. Especially for postscript
errors having this information would be usefull - extract and send
them to the user via mail or for troubleshooting...
