[comp.sys.next] printer accounting on NeXT

petero@screech.rice.EDU (Peter Ostrin) (10/21/89)

Is there anyone out there who has managed to get printer accounting to work on
the NeXT machine??  Try as we may, we have not succeeded. It is documented, in
both the printcap man pages and in the online documentation, but the printer
will not make any entries into the accounting file.  This is a major setback
for our machines, we had hoped that going to 1.0 would help, but as yet we
have had no luck.

This basically renders the next's printers useless for public printing. 
This is
a great pity, as they product good quality output.

thanks in anticipation.
