Greetings,

I have to rewrite the string %%Pages: #  to  %%Pages: in the postscript submitted to 
my lprng servers and am having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to do this. 

I was thinking of adding a line in the printcap that would look something like this:
filter=( /path/to/filter | /path/to/ifhp $* )

The first filter would check if file is postscript then
while ( <STDIN> )
{       $_ =~ s/^%%Pages:\s+\d+/%%Pages: /;
        print;
}

and feed this to ifhp.

Is this correct? 

The reason for doing this is I use my lprng queues as bounce queues to a print manager 
plus accounting server.  Print Manager Plus simply trusts %%Pages: if it has a value.  
If it has no value it will recount.

Thanks,
Dean
