Try larger values of pagecount_poll, and also try printing one of those maintenance pages or what have you to see if the actual page count on the printer is working properly. I have a malfunctioning 4100 that will not pagecount ACCURATELY, but with the 15 second delay, it's at least tolerable I suppose. I gave up trying to do better because HP didn't seem concerned about fixing it particularly (though it's screwing up about 30% of my accounting data, which is very unfortunate -- we'll see the coming year whether it will matter enough to try again with HP).
What are the versions of your printer firmware, jetdirect firmware, and the like? ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent. | IST/ACS - New Jersey Medical School - C630 On Thu, 17 Jan 2002, =?iso-8859-1?Q?Fr�d�ric?= Oger wrote: > > Hi, > > I Still have a problem with my HP 4100N.
