Disabling the status queries as you have done will disable pagecount queries. You need to get the status queries working in order to get valid page counts back. Now, it may be easier to just go and buy a JetDirect card for this printer and connect it over the network... -- ============================================================================ John Perkins | University of Wisconsin-Madison Associate Researcher | Department of Computer Science [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 1210 W.
