Wow, too many things brining bad memories back today. In a past life I had the same negative experience trying to get a pagecount back from and Apple Laser writer printer. After many hours of tooling with it and reading documentation front to back, I ended up calling Apple about this little gem of theirs, no luck. As far as I can remember it was something to do with non-standard bi-directional communication. Possibly someone on this board got this to work somewhere along the way but after many-o-hours on this problem, the printer went into the *not to be used with lprng* group and a solution was never found.
Please do advise if you get it working properly.
