Thank you. But you seem to be addressing only the page accounting issue, which we don't really care about (it's very low on the priority list in this case). The issue is that we want to send jobs to our LPRNG server, have the jobs processed, translated, formatted, etc., then sent (bounced) to the LPD (port 515) on the Canon copier/printer to be printed. Right now the jobs are not properly transferred to the Canon. We get printouts that show PJL and raw Postscript. The Canon has been configured to accept both PCL and Postscript jobs. -- Daniel E.
