I can't find this printer in the list of supported printers
(ifhp ... HOWTO...)

Which model type can I use ???

I have following problem:
::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Because I couldn't find the exact model type I had configured

a queue for the new printer using model type "hp8100"
(We are already using such printers successfull!)

printcap-entry:

queue_name
 :lp=xxx.xx.xx.xxx%9100
 :ifhp=model=hp8100,status,sync
 :sd=/var/spool/lpd/queue_name
 :if=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp
 :bp=/usr/libexec/filters/pclbanner
 :lf=log
 :mx#0:ab


ifhp.conf-entry:

[hp8100]
pcl
ps
text
pjl

file_output_match = [
 *postscript*   ps
 *text*         ps /usr/bin/a2ps -q --portrait --margin -1 -b \
   -j --center-title=\%s{f} -u [EMAIL PROTECTED] -M A4  -o-
]

For accounting we are using a modified version of the delivered
accounting.sh script.

The outputs of the printer are ok.
But the accounting values are often "bad" - getting (p) 0 but 
1 or 2 pages were printed...

I think I had this problem already had (??? with a printer HP4100 ???)

I believe the accounting.sh script gets the end of the job earlier than
the real end ... reading of pagecounter by the accounting filter gets than
 (p) 0 or less pages as really would be printed (?)

What can I do???
::::::::::::::::::

>>> getting status-,pagecount-infrmations by using snmp tools ???
>>> other possibilities ???
