>I have a colour Tek laserprinter and wish do to accounting. If you mean Tektronix, they used to provide a "hybrid" port that would allow sending data to the printer on the parallel connection and receiving status from the serial connection (this was on a pre-PostScript color printer, I don't recall the model number). Using this would require either hacking TranScript's pscomm driver (to listen on the serial port while sending to the parallel port) if you have source, or else writing your own listener process to do accounting for this printer.
