no, everything works fine when using cups directly (on the local machine or via ipp from another linux box) i have worked some more on that problem: with one of our printers it works fine! but with the majority of our printers it does not; so it seems to be a ppd-related problem (because that is the only difference i can see). i have found a cups-newsgroup-post which says that "The page log is normally maintained by the pstops filter (that is the only one in a PostScript only configuration that may have an idea of how many pages get printed), bot only if the printer's PPD has no *cupsFilter: "..." entry. In the altter case the filter(s) specified in the PPD are responsible for writing to the page log." that corresponds to my experiences; the only printer i have that works is a kyocera 1020, whose ppd does not have a "cupsFilter"-entry. i might have a conceptual problem with my understanding of how cups works. any concrete suggestion which driver to use for a hp laserjet 4200 e.g.? all ppds for that printer (LaserJet_4200-gimp-print-ijs, LaserJet_4200-Postscript,LaserJet_4200-gimp-print, LaserJet_4200-pxlmono, and LaserJet_4200-hpijs) include a line *cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 foomatic-rip". any help would be appreciated, karsten -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
