It appears to count the pages correctly when I try to get the information through the printer's web server. But LPRng and ifhp does return 0 pages printed. Does it comes from the way the printer is requested the amount of pages. I tried specifying pagecount=ps or pagecount=pjl but no change. I'll try to contact HP even if it sounds it will not fix the problem.
