-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Our cafe now uses the Linux print spooler (lpd) via samba to do printing, so now if a customer wishes to print all that is needed is to print using the printer attached to the smb server. It works pretty well, actually. However, we have been getting discrepancies here and there and now I am being asked to make the server log what it prints so we have an independent and authoritative check, and a lower limit estimate on our printing income. How is this done? I have looked at the man pages and found the pac(8) command, but its man page doesn't even tell me how to activate accounting. The printcap(5) man page has a table that describes an accounting file, but placing one in the printcap entry describing our printer doesn't do anything. Reading through the 4.3 BSD Line Printer Spooler Manual (seven pages from geek-girl.com) was not of much help; saying that the filters perform accounting... Do the Red Hat print filters do this? If so, how do I activate it? If not, what do I do? I would write a shell/perl script to do this accounting, if I knew what format the accounting files pac(8) used...*sigh* - -- Rafael R.
