> Subject: LPRng: pagecount-problem with ifhp and hp8000
>
> Hi there!
>
> I have a problem with querying the pagecounter of a hp8000-printer
with
> ifhp: I always get a pagecount of 0.
>
> With a little tool 'qpc' I am able to query the counter of the hp8000,
> and the ifhp-pagecount also worked correctly with a hp5m printer and
the
>
> same ifhp-options.
>
> I noticed that there are no entries like 'sync done' and 'end of job
> detected' in the status-file, like it does with the hp5m printer.
> Everything is accomplished within 1 second, whereas with the hp5m it
> took about 30 seconds from sync to end of job.
> I've also run ifhp-diagnostics to make sure that the status-, sync-,
> pageount- and waitend-flags are set at runtime.
>
> I have ifhp v3.5.7-2 and lprng v3.8.10-1.2 installed.
