You get the page counter values at the 'start' of each job, and
then use post-processing of the accouting file:

start_job=2745 pagcounter=2100  .... <<<  2100
end_job=2745 pagcounter=2102  ....
start_job=2748 pagcounter=2102  ....  <<< 2102 - job 2745 has 2 pages
end_job=2748 pagcounter=2103  ....
