hi!

i want to use a linux server for printing and i need page accounting.
to do page accounting it is necessary to read the page counter
of the printer. therefore you need a bidirectional interface like
serial interface or jetdirect.

i want to use the parallel interface of o pc.
is it possible to use a bidirectional parallel interface to read
the page counter?

i tried ifhp filter with LPRng package and didn't have sucess.


thanx
christof fischer
