Does anyone know of utilities to monitor printer useage on a per page basis? (wanted for a laserjet III on Pserver on NW386) I imagine it's difficult to do as you may not know how many pages there are until it's printed. -- Yours, Alan Schwarzenberger

At the moment I am expanding it to include paintjet commands (for colour etc), and hopefully postscript. Send me some email if youd like to try it out. We have been using it for about a year now and it seems to work pretty good. -- ============================================================================== | Hamish Marson <h.marson@waikato.ac.nz> | | Computer Support Person, Computer Science Department | | University of Waikato | |Disclaimer: Anything said in this message is the personal opinion of the | | finger hitting the keyboard & doesn't represent my employers | | opinion in any way.
