- As many followers of this group have asked for before, we require software
- to automatically perform accounting of pages printed to a PostScript
- printer. It could be as simple as a running tally of pages printed for
- each user ID on a system.
-
- Does anyone know of such a product, preferrably a solid, commercial-quality
- product? I realize there may be a hardware requirement as well such as a
- bi-directional printer interface to allow reading the printer's page count.
-
- This is an important requirement for many sites. Please note that there is
- a significant market for such a product if it is effective and robust.
