Dear list, i've upgraded to the latest release, hoping that helps, but my accounting problem was not solved.... Let's me explain....
I need to update the accounting information about print jobs in 'real-time' into a mysql DB, to implement a real-time quota check
for our students in the cs-labs.
Almost all the things are fine, so I can check the print quota and manage to print or not, but the problem is about the aborting of a job.
Using the ifhp accounting I can get the printing status from the printer into the fileend line, but if I start a job of 500 pages, then at 490 pages I send a job abort,
the fileend will not be raised, so I loose the only chance to bill the user for that print job.
The solution in the manual (see the next job start and count the difference....) is not reasonable for a 'real-time' check, I believe it's too complex to implement (or I'm wrong ?).
Someone has solved this, or there is a workaround ?
Tks in advance.
