I'm interested in counting the number of *PIECES OF PAPER* used by
our duplexing HP 4050 printers (and perhaps some 4000 and 4100 models as
well). We charge people for printing but would like to encourage the use
of our duplexing printers -- save the earth and all. Obviously, it's
always possible for somebody to alternate in blank pages, but I think
that this can be dealt with by charging slightly more than %50 of the
price of a single-sided job.
Has anybody done this? Can you outline the steps you took?
It occurred to me that I might mess around with bounce queues, but
in the end I want to have a single output queue which directly talks (via
ifhp) to each printer, but I need my accounting file to reflect the fact
that a job was duplexed or not (which I might be able to do simply by
running a script on the postscript job to check for the duplexing
postscript commands).
