You can also get page counts and other information from the printer via SNMP. If you have, for example, snmp modules for Perl, it's fairly easy to do accounting by watching the printer process a job - I do it that way for HP's and Lexmarks. The pagecounter MIB is .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.43.10.2.1.4.1.1 John Harper ------------------------------------ Academic Computing Coordinator University of Toronto at Scarborough [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Thanks, > > Fred.
