[comp.sys.mac] How can I read Laser Pram?

ccmark@pollux.ucdavis.edu (Mark Malone) (07/20/89)

Greetings,
	I need to find out how many sheets the lab laserwritters have printed
	in several Mac labs here at UCD.  I know that each time the laser is
	initialized it prints out that sheet with the information I need at
	the bottom.  However, I want to find out how many sheets it has
	printed with out restarting the machine.  Is there a way to do this?
		Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Funny you should ask...  just a few days ago, the following was posted to
comp.binaries.mac:

Jul 22 04:01	<25081@dhw68k.cts.com>	'LW Test Page Control and Page Counter'
		from PJORGENS@COLGATEU.BITNET (Peter Jorgensen)

Posted in the form of Word documents that contain embedded PostScript, one of
the documents will cause the current sheet count to be printed.
