I have a HPIIIsi attached to a Sun IPC and I need a good printer filter
to manage the printer and to do printer accounting.  We have psf3.5 and 
have found that it works fine when we send it ascii, but it always acts
like it can't get status from the printer when we send it preformatted
PostScript.  My assistant has spent many hours working on this filter, but
just cannot seem to get it to work correctly in our environment.  Is anyone
successfully using this filter to do accounting?  Is there a better filter
out there?  Any pointers would be appreciated.

try lprps, it does accounting and the nessessary communication with the 
printer, like status requests and error recovery.
You can find it on ftp.cs.uni-sb.de in /pub/postscript as lprps.tar.Z, but
hopefully you also find it on a ftpserver nearby you.
