is nearly impossible in cups. There doesn't seem to be a way to call a<br>
script right before the job is sent to a printer and then again right after.<br>
If I could do that, I could use snmp to get the page count. There is a<br>
page_log file but that doesn't say whether the pages printed were color or<br>
b/w.<br>
<br>
Anybody have any idea how print accounting is done with cups?<br>
