SUBJECT: Accurate page accounting on QMS-800
Hello,
We have a QMS Lasergrafix-800 here attached to our VAX 11/730 by the
parallel port on our DMF-32. We want accurate page counts for each job
printed, and the number of blocks printed has very little to do with the
number of pages printed. Is there any way to get the page count "odometer"
out of the printer? Has anyone solved this problem before? Do I have to
write a QUIC interpreter to decode the graphics commands and count the
pages? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
