-
- Add an entry in your printcap for the printer you want to log
-
- af=/dir/where/you/want/to/log/printing/usage
-
- For example, here is a printcap entry for one of our printers (third line of
- entry contains the af field):
-
- ME_LaserWriter: \
- :note=ME LaserWriter II NT:ty=Apple LaserWriter II NT: \
- :sd=/usr/spool/NeXT/ME_LaserWriter:sharedTo=/:sharedAs=N230_D_LW: \
- :lp=/dev/null:lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:af=/usr/adm/lp.acct:br=9600:rw: \
- :fc#0000374:fs#0000003:xc#0:xs#0040040:mx#0:sf:sb: \
- :if=/usr/local/cap/bin/N230_D_LW:of=/usr/lib/transcript/psof: \
- :gf=/usr/lib/transcript/psgf:nf=/usr/lib/transcript/psnf: \
- :tf=/usr/lib/transcript/pstf:rf=/usr/lib/transcript/psrf: \
- :vf=/usr/lib/transcript/psvf:cf=/usr/lib/transcript/pscf: \
- :df=/usr/lib/transcript/psdf:
-
- The accounting info for this printer is sent to /usr/adm/lp.acct.
-
- To determine usage on a per user basis, use
-
- /usr/etc/pac -m -Pprinter_name
-
- This will be at the default $0.02/page. Check the man pages for printcap and
- pac.
