Well I finallly got my Versatec 8924 color electrostatic to spit out the demo tiger using NeWSprint. Then I looked at the accounting file. Gakkk!! Did Sun fall asleep? Here is a sample entry: Printer vr-np Host colossus User ehrlich Job nparrot.ps Date Sun Apr 14 19:44:35 1991 Not terribly useful information if I need to charge back people for the use of the plotter. I really need to know how many 'pages' where printed. Does anyone know how to get NeWSprint to produce a 'standard' (i.e. pac(8) readable) accounting file? Is there anyway to get a page count instead of this junk? Is there an engine parameter that holds the page count? Looks like sun really dropped the ball on this one. ANy help would be appreciated.
