I use snmp on 4250, and accounting works fine (pjl worked for
4000/4050/4100/4500, as does snmp).
in my /etc/printcap, I use:
:ifhp=model=hp4200,a4,snmp_monitor,waitend=snmp

Firstly, nice to see this list fit and working again.
Has anyone been able to get page accounting working successfully with
an HP Laserjet 4200 (or 4100 or 4300)? Some previous list traffic
seems to indicate that some people may have gotten this to work but I
can't for the life of me get it to do page counts (start and end page
count are always the same resulting in 0 page jobs). If you have
this working would you mind replying with (relevant portions of) your
printcap? I'm using lprng 3.8.27 and ifhp 3.5.17.
I've just started looking at accounting for our systems and I think
I'm seeing a similar problem. I'm not using ifhp, but instead using
my own program to query the printer for page count information. I
assume that you are printing to port 9100 on the printer? It appears
that, when doing this, the printer is still in the process of printing
the job when it is queried for its 'end' pagecount, therefore making
it the same as the 'start' one. I'm going to have a trawl through the
archives to see if I can come up with anything useful.
