I'd like to write a short utility that will query the Laserwriter, over AppleTalk, as to the total number of copies printed by the printer. This is the same information printed on the test page. Can this be done? I know there is a function called "pagecount" or something like that available on the LW II and LW IINT. Is such an animal available on the old Laserwriter? Can this be done easily over AppleTalk? Thanks in advance for all replies. Ben Sloan Univ. Texas Geology ben@emx.utexas.edu

To query the laserwriter pagecount:
%!PS-Adobe-2.0 Query
%%?BeginQuery: pagecount
statusdict begin /pagecount where { pop pagecount }{{0}}ifelse = flush
%%?EndQuery: 0
